    I love Bendigo such a nice place to live. I lived there for 3 years while at uni. I have a few friends who live there with kids and really like living there as its big enough a place without being melbourne size.

    we're an hour away from bendigo, it's alright, i go in town each second week, and ballarat the other weeks in between.
    Our latest discovery is that there is no JB hifi there! Ballarat has one but.
    The hospital has left a lot to desire for us. Treated us like crap, and told us we had no option but to go all the way to melb for birth, and wouldnt even share care with melb so we'd be travelling to melb for the entire pregnancy! All because we live just outside their catchment area. Plus they stuffed up our 19 week ultrasound, wouldnt show me a thing, screwed up the photo cd so the images were all completely unreadable, and refused to accept our complaint. And to top it off the social worker kept insisting i drink beers with my man every day! Whilst pregnant!
    But if you are thinking of having any more children, our beautiful midwife hails from bendigo, her name is Helen Sandner, and she's just wonderful!
    You should like easter time too, havent seen it myself for years but there is the chinese parade and all the chinese dragons are amazing, the kids will love it!

    Sorry you had a bad experience Phynna. I had 2 wonderful experiences at the public hospital and I'm outside catchment area.

    RR if you have a look on the real estate website, it will show you most of the properties for rent and for sale. I can tell you which parts of town you'd probably want to head away from.

    hey not your fault niadla! Hospital should be apologising! Even worse about 2 months after they told me i couldnt be their patient they rang to tell me i'd missed 2 appointments, i said of course i have! They then tried to deny ever telling me i couldnt be there, and to come back to them! Grrr! But i never would have found my midwife if the hospital hadnt of treated me like that, so i'm glad for all the headaches!
