Whether you come by road or rail, you'll find Bendigo is very central for touring the Central Victorian region.
By train from Melbourne, it takes 2 hours, and about the same by car.
We're about 90 minutes, too, from Melbourne Airport, and there's a very convenient direct bus that services Bendigo travellers.
And there are now direct flights from Sydney to Bendigo with Qantas.
