Bendigo Airport Victoria Australia YBDG
Bendigo was, and to a large degree a World Gold Mining Town.
In the 1880's Bendigo was deemed the richest city in the world, with more gold found there between 1850 and 1900 than any where else in the world.( Info by Flyboysing)

Well the Redbaron has done it again and this time my home base! We also enjoy the little bits of local history but as a proud Bendigonian (I know .. that's what we call ourselves) we are more than "to some degree a gold mining town". In the 1880's Bendigo was deemed the richest city in the world; with more gold found here between 1850 and 1900 than anywhere in the world. Today Bendigo is home to the 5th largest and Australian owned retail bank - The Bendigo and Adelaide Bank
Thanks for the work as always Redbaron and I hope you don't mind a little bit of home town promotion.
