Top Attractions in Bendigo
💡 Climb the Poppet Head lookout—it's narrow but gives a great view over the city. Best in late afternoon when the light hits the cathedral.
💡 Check their website before visiting—major exhibitions sometimes have a fee, but the permanent collection is always free. The gift shop has high-quality prints not found elsewhere.
💡 Ring the bell at the entrance if you want the volunteer guide to open the main prayer hall—they're usually happy to chat about temple history. Donation requested but not required.
💡 Buy an all-day pass ($10) and use it as a hop-on-hop-off service—it's cheaper than a single return. Trams run every 30 minutes but can skip stops if full.
💡 Entry is $15 for adults, but the dragon hall alone is worth it. Visit during the Bendigo Easter Festival when the dragon is paraded—otherwise it's displayed coiled indoors.
