Construction of the temporary levee bank in Echuca continues. Locals on the river-side of the levee are upset, feeling that have just been sacrificed and left.

Bendigo Cup Fashions on the Field is run and done with Emma Scodellaro winning Lady of the Day and Edwina Dalco taking second place.

Minutes away from the 2022 Apiam Bendigo Cup. Here’s Bendigo musician Grim Fawkner singing the National anthem.

Plenty of crowd excitement as High Emocean wins the 2022 Bendigo Cup. Port Phillip ran second and Verimli third

Here’s how the 2022 Bendigo Cup unfolded before and after the race.

The Bendigo Tulip Dig has returned for the first time in two years. Dozens of green thumbs lined up to help unearth the 53,000 bulbs planted by the City of Greater Bendigo parks team for this year’s display.

The GWS GIANTS social media team is drawing me into their #AFLFinals bandwagon tweet by hilarious tweet.

Good luck Gresh. Next order of business - who gets the famous St Kilda FC number 4 next? #AFLTrade
