  • BENDIGO
    It’s common knowledge that Bendigo was one of the biggest gold finds in history. Not everyone knows the city now sits atop a complex honeycomb of shafts and tunnels; it’s literally built on rivers of gold. Her grand hotels and theatres have played host to international celebrities… and some shady characters too.

    I do appreciate how informative these shows are. What has me hooked though is Tony and his funny interactions with not just the people in each are, but his crew. Thank you for making history interesting.

    There was only one error that I noticed. The Sacred Heart Cathedral looks young because much of it is only 50 years old. The main spire finished construction in 1976. Many decades were spent waiting for the foundations to settle. When I was a child the church was half the size. It was where I was baptized and where may parents married in 1952. 20 years ago I ran choir performance with 60 in there that were called 'Spontaneous Choir', which is improvisations with human sounds. I have known the guy who owns the cellar for 35 years

    I find it both interesting and frustrating as a local in a strange way, seeing him walk around a corner turning one way and the next scene hell be somewhere 5 ks in the opposite direction.

    The comment about the water source in bendigo is a little misleading. When the British arrived, what's now Bendigo creek was a series of interconnected ponds - a vibrant ecosystem. They were destroyed by mining and other human activity leaving only the smelly trickle of a canal that's there today. There are other videos on RUclips you can find about it.

    • @Gleesonglee
      @Gleesonglee 4 года назад +1

      There was a big flood at one stage and all of Central Bendigo went under water. That was when they decided to turn the Bendigo Creek into a bluestone and concrete gutter

    The fact he skulled a drop of quality Bendigo red from the 80s' makes me slightly angry. And I'm not even a connoisseur of varying drinks.

    Quaint town with loads of 19th century buildings. Suspect it might have been interesting to be there 150 years ago. Dad's horse won a race there 30 years ago so I won't dump on it. Think of Bendigo as Texas made by the British.
