Influenced by the article by property analyst Terry Ryder about Bendigo. I decided to take the flight to Melbourne, book a rental car and drive down to Bendigo Victoria for an informational visit.

While driving, which was roughly a 1.5-hour drive, my thoughts were that it would be a regional area with a village atmosphere, sheep everywhere, no one to talk to, there will be no place to eat or drink. This thought and perception made me uncomfortable as I boarded the first flight in the morning from Sydney without breakfast. It was about lunchtime at that time and my perceptions were getting dark. I was hungry as hell.

Finally, after a smooth ride, I reached Kangaroo Flat which was 6 km away from Bendigo Victoria. I was amazed to see Harvey Norman and all the other big shopping outlets that started to appear. After the Kangaroo Flat, the next big suburb was a golden square which was about 3 km away. It was all populated and happening place.

Finally, I reached Bendigo Victoria and it was just like any other city. It had all the shopping outlets, Bendigo Hospital, Bendigo Bank, TAFE, and the university. IT also had all the eating and drinking outlets.
