Overview
Step beyond the surface of Bendigo and uncover the remarkable story of its Chinese pioneers. This small-group tour offers an intimate and inspiring journey through Dai Gum San — “Big Gold Mountain” — where thousands of Chinese miners once sought fortune and built a legacy that endures to this day.
Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll explore the 1850s Chinese Diggings and even try your hand at panning for real gold. Visit the historic Chinese Cemetery, one of Australia’s most significant gold-rush burial sites, and step inside the 1871 Chinese Joss House Temple — the oldest of its kind on its original site in regional Australia.
Relax over morning tea at Omari Café, nestled in the Larni Garingalang Gardens beside Bendigo Creek, before exploring the Golden Dragon Museum and Chinese Gardens, home to Dai Gum Loong, the world’s longest Imperial Dragon. A deeply engaging cultural journey through faith, endurance, and renewal.
