There'll be no rush Mulgabill.

The order's only just gone in for the carbon fibre/titanium Zimmer frame with Kevlar tyres and Pedders suspension

Must say Bendigo has a good website for tourists:

thanks for this - now I've got something to look forward to
I imagine the NSW govt one only gives us the card and no benefit

What's the time frame on the zimmer order - should I put my name down now?

[rsser]

Nick, we could look at a bulk buy.

Options: motor added; swords added to front wheels to get to the front of pesky queues.

I like the swords idea - a la Ben Hur

All set up for a couple of days starting tomorrow. Impressed with the range of stuff there. The Gallery looks good; Chinese museum is on the agenda; lots of good eateries.

Going to be a tad on the warm side so it'll be striding out early and then retiring to quarters cooled by the dirtiest energy form available.

Next year I'll put my money where my sweat won't be.

Bendigo's a nice town
Enjoy

Yeah. We had a great time. There's some interesting buildings (esp. Charing Cross), the Vintage Talking Tramway is a hoot, and the locals were friendly and obliging. The Art Gallery has some interesting works with a Bill Henson exhibition on at the moment (not my cuppa though). +1 scored some pieces of old bone china for a set she's building up. The Chinese Museum has a stunning big 3 panel carved wood screen.

Overall the sense is clear that there's coherent and responsive tourism development.
