- 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.
We gotta get me green CUUUUBE morty!
Lol thats why im here!
Great to see my home town shown in such a way and to know some of the people and all of the places
bedigoiens for the win! woooo i love living in bendigo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So where's the cube?
OH NO I FILLED IT WITH DIESEL!!
Argh..... he was here in Bendigo and we didnt even know! WOW!
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
My son, the winder driver. I used to work @ the Central Deborah mine. :)
Tony Robinson well done. You feel like a local your research was so good!
Lol that’s my brick wall
Haha cool wall!
No mention of the famous Gillys pies in Bendigo and Chiko Roll.
A Gillies Pie, served from the window!
No mention of the green cube either
Spiros for me
Thanks Tony, awesome show 👍🏼🙏❤️
Such a beautiful city.
Awesome documentary. Loved it. Thank you 🙏🏽
I used to live next to the mine, I saw them setting up the cameras for this program, didn’t see Tony though.
Just a brilliant series!
yo i live in bendigo. Rad! :D
Great shows Tony!
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.
Tony uncle bending o is my favorite city in Australia but I didn’t been there before hope oneday I will travel with my mom friends
I got to get me wheel alignment done in Bendigo
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 UA-cam you can find about it.
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
Bendigo is had a work breath is very nice
I enjoyed the Geelong segment though no mention of our famous wool stores and associated history.
Maybe comment on the Geelong video😉
Bendigo is a town for sure even a regional centre, but a city is a bit of a stretch
is this on tv
But where did the name Bendigo come from? What did I miss?
Your awesome Tony
I wonder how much gold is still in there.
Tony Robinson is one of those guys that stands a bit too close when he's talking to people!
No social distancing here 😬
Bendigo had mine machine
He should've featured Claude
Oh hell yeah. What a legend
lol
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.
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.
Where’s the junkies ?
Haha i came here for that comment.. and agree..opposite to & next door to the reject shop
@@Womble1252 And out the front of Cashies.
I see trees, scrub. Nothing really
Thinking of the Whipstick? Quite a magical place.
