Moved here four years ago. It seemed like a good idea at the time but has been a nightmare and we can’t wait to leave. We arrived in Dec 2015 and it just happened to be the hottest week (in the 40’s) Which you can look forward to every year . . . There seems to be only two seasons here (Summer & Winter) The people are a bit hit or miss. Service in retail can be hit or miss. The town is extremely geared toward tourists and not much thought given to residents. Every weekend the town is not only full of tourists but a lot of younger people getting drunk and being a nuisance. The Main Street through town has a constant flow of HEAVY TRUCKS, MOTORBIKES, SPEEDING RATTLING TRAMS and HOON’S (another nightmare when living in a weatherboard house) They desperately need a freeway/ring road around Bendigo as the noise is horrendous (probably the worse thing about living here) house prices are very expensive considering the distance to Melbourne (2hrs by train) It could be a wonderful town with a bit of thought and a lot of money.
