Hi Folks!
Please help a Scotsman whose only source of reference to Bendigo is Brian Andrews' book "By Birney to Golden Square". Where is the Gold Mine please? Could somebody post a track map of Bendigo as it is now? (Perhaps I should think about retiring to Australia!!!!)
Thanks........Chas (living near tramless Glasgow in Scotland)
