Sightseeing

Short 500m walk from the house to an original mining area. There's a great look out at the top of the mine. The reserve is a bushland walk and there's also a nice little park with public BBQ at the entrance.

Beautiful park with stunning bridges over the canal. 15 minute walk down to the park from Molly's and lots of georgeous houses and architecture to look at on the way. Watch out for the hot house, birds, waterfalls and rotunda - it's lovely.

Nice to walk along - it goes up through East Bendigo and all the way to Heathcote. Google it so you know what to expect! Frogs, wildlife, gravel trail. Great bikeride.

Gorgeous position in Chancery Lane - sit outside in the lane under fairy lights. Food is really good - modern menu / Spanish bent. These guys know what they're doing, maitre d is very knowledgable and sophisticated approach to their drinks menu. Good local selection and lots of theatre here with service. Highly recommend - it's a bit pricey.
