I would love one for our beautiful Bendigo highlighting some of ours.

The Chinese Museum, Bendigo Pottery, RSL Memorial Hall, tram tours, Ulumbarra Theatre, the botanical gardens, Central Deborah gold mine, the cathedral, Grand Stupa, plus so many more, including, all our wonderful eateries.

It would be great to add our Bendigo Museum to the list but alas we're still waiting on that.

Come on Bendigo, as the late great John Kennedy said "do something".

A lot of us are getting older and really, we've waited long enough.

Throughout our lifetimes we are told that we all have to be responsible for our own actions.

This seems to have been totally forgotten with the onset of this pandemic in Victoria, with the burden shifted to the Premier and the Chief Health Officer.

With some of the commentary recently being made, you would think that they were travelling around the suburbs of Melbourne and increasing the infection rate of this virus.

Thankfully the Prime Minister has not gone down this path yet, and has given his full support to Victoria, as this could happen in any other state as well.

More:

Ideas are being bandied about locally, including locking down and prohibiting travelers from Melbourne visiting Bendigo.

The Calder Highway is not the only avenue of travel to Bendigo, there are many others.

As for the comment that there has been a lack of interest and care in Bendigo, the previous writer is right, there was 20 years ago.

Since the present government has been in power, the difference in Bendigo's economy and infrastructure development has been remarkable.

If the people concerned are not happy with the circumstances as they are, maybe they could put their hand up and be of some assistance, instead of simply barking from the sidelines. This is no ordinary political barney, but a serious health issue, and frankly anyone of us not heeding the medical advice given are the problem, and need to remember that.

A problem we, and only we, can fix.
