I was looking for a good hairdresser in bendigo who would be able to do something like the image attached bellow, but in my experience going and asking for anything short and somewhat alternative ends up with you walking out with a choppy short back and sides, any recommendations would be very much appreciated, thank you!

Just received an email from Bendigo Suzuki today and it mentioned the end of the dealership. My car is in its 3rd year.

What's your plan if you are a Suzuki owner still under warranty? Service locally? Service at Echuca or Shepparton with a half-day or full-day trip? Or simply trade it for something else?

I hate these trees in town every time I walk past them I feel like I’m going to throw up. 🤢 👃🌲

I'm a 22 year old guy and finally been offered a job in Bendigo, and honestly, I’m really excited about it because it gives me a chance to move out of Maitland and get some distance from my family.

I’ve lived in Maitland, NSW for pretty much my entire life, so Bendigo would be a pretty significant change for me. One of the biggest reasons I’m moving is that my family situation has become really toxic and stressful, and I desperately want to have my own space and start fresh somewhere else.

I know Bendigo is also a regional city, but I’m wondering how different it actually feels compared with Maitland. Will I experience much culture shock? Things like the pace of life, how friendly/social people are, things to do, public transport, shops, nightlife, general attitudes, etc. Advice is greatly appreciated!

Thinking of moving to California Gully soon but wanting to know what people’s thoughts are of the area? I’ve heard the gully’s are rough and I’ll be on my own, so curious to know if it’s a relatively safe area if you’re wanting to live solo.

Ok gents, it's that time of year again. Just picture it! 50 cakes. All identical. All made with this bizarre and not that appetizing recipe. Picture the daunted face on the judge who foolishly put their hand up to be a part the judging team for the country bake competition and now has to judge 100 cakes. Think of the emotion! The joy! The frivolitry of causing that sweet, innocent chaos as your cake joins the rank of 150 strong chocolate cakes.

Or if that doesn't float your boat, think of the small donation your $2 entry fee will be to the Bendigo Agricultural Show Society as you join >200 other men in this endevour. My dream is to see a whole shed filled with rows upon rows of identical cakes. Will you help me make my dream come true?

Sign ups are now open.

What are some of the best Op Shops in Bendigo please?

Thank yoooooooo

Any one know who sells vapes in town?

Where is the best place for a massage

We are considering a move from Brisbane to regional Vic, fleeing from the rat race and insane capital city property prices. We are planning a trip in October to scope out Bendigo, Ballarat and Geelong. We are a multicultural family, and our son will wear a turban. We are wondering how multicultural Bendigo is, and would to love hear from other migrant background families about their and their kids’ experiences in the schools and communities. Our budget is $900,000 and looking for the best school we can find, ideally a multicultural area. We haven’t narrowed suburbs or anything like that. Any insights welcome!

We are now 100 days out from the next state election. What are your biggest "make it or break it" things for this election?

Not asking for your opinions, just the key issues for you.

An open invitation for anyone in the Bendigo community to join the newly formed Bendigo Urban Sketchers Chapter. Urban Sketching is a global community that connects drawers with free local meet ups for sketching/drawing/painting a local environment. You do not need to be an experienced drawer, everyone is welcome even if you have never picked up a pencil before.

Our first meet up is Friday 4th September, 10-12am at View Point in Bendigo (at the BENDIGO sign in Rosalind Park). We also aim to hold Sketch Meets in the towns around Bendigo, in the coming months.

Welcome to Urban Sketchers Bendigo!

This group is for local and visiting Urban Sketchers (USk) to share sketches, discover the places around us and connect with other sketchers.

Urban Sketchers draw or paint on location, indoors or outdoors, capturing what we see through direct observation. Our sketches tell the story of the places we live, visit and experience, creating a record of a particular time and place. You don't need to consider yourself an artist to join us. Whether you've never picked up a sketchbook before, you're getting back into drawing, or you've been sketching for years, you're welcome here. There is no required skill level, artistic style or medium. Bring whatever you enjoy using.

We celebrate different ways of seeing and encourage everyone to share their own perspective.

THE URBAN SKETCHERS MANIFESTO
• We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.
• Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.
• Our drawings are a record of a time and place.
• We are truthful to the scenes we witness.
• We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.
• We support each other and draw together.
• We share our drawings online.
• We show the world, one drawing at a time.

SKETCH MEETS
Free regular sketch meets will be held throughout Greater Bendigo region. Check Events for upcoming locations and details. You don't need to be experienced or know anyone before you arrive. Find a viewpoint that interests you, sketch for as long as suits you and enjoy being around other people who like to draw.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Before you arrive: Check the event details for the meeting location, time and any updates. Bring whatever materials you like to sketch with. A stool or portable chair, hat, sunscreen and water may also be useful depending on the location and weather.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE
Say hello to the organisers so we can welcome you and introduce you to others. If you're not sure where to start, come and say hi. We'll let you know where and when to meet for the throw down and group photo, usually around two hours after the start of the meet. While sketching: Find a viewpoint that interests you, or sit with others and sketch together. There's no expectation that you produce a finished or polished artwork. After the meet: Share your sketch with the group if you'd like to. We love seeing the different ways people interpret the same place and hearing the stories behind the sketches

LOOKING AFTER EACH OTHER
USk Bendigo is a volunteer-run community. Please take responsibility for your own safety and belongings, be aware of your surroundings and don't sketch somewhere you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. We encourage everyone to look out for one another and respect personal space and boundaries.

If you have an accessibility requirement or something that would help you participate comfortably, please feel welcome to contact an Admin before a meet: [uskbendigo@gmail.com](mailto:uskbendigo@gmail.com)
