Car Hire Bendigo - Mini guide to Bendigo

Bendigo may only be a ninety minute drive from Melbourne, which makes it within comfortable reach for that major tourist attraction, but don.t go thinking that Bendigo is merely a stop-off point on a greater adventure, as a city with over 80,000 inhabitants and its own history, sporting achievements and parks and gardens will testify. With the majority of big name providers offering Bendigo car hire services, the city is a great place to enjoy a break or to create a home-camp to explore the wider state of Victoria.

The gold rush in Bendigo started in 1851 and lasted for over a hundred years and although the mines have dried up, the city still reaps the benefit of those times and the architecture alone impresses. The Town Hall, The School of Mines and The Art Gallery all date back to the 18th century and add to the sense of luxury that exists in Bendigo.

However, there is more to Bendigo than the main city, as there are countless suburbs and localities all within easy reach by car, which means if you are looking for an extended stay in Bendigo, a visit to a Bendigo car hire firm should be an integral part of your holiday. Some of the many attractions you could see on a day trip from Bendigo include Castlemaine, with its bohemian cafes and art galleries or the historical area of Molden which still hosts a steam train as well as antique shops and remnants of a gold mining town.

For those of you who want to see what life was like on the riverboats, a journey to Echuca-Moama is essential and with it dubbed the .Paddlesteamer capital of Australia., you will be glad you picked up a Bendigo car hire and spread your stay to the outlying areas of the city.

The days of the gold rush are long over but you might find yourself a nugget or two by visiting Bendigo and spending some time in its surrounding areas.
