Let’s Explore Bendigo’s Bath Lane Precinct

Murals, Sculptures & Activations

You don’t have to go far to see why this area is a hub of creative spaces. 

Pennyweight Walk is an open-air gallery of changing collaborations from local artists. 

At each end of Bath Lane stand sculptures, a film reel and Hamlet’s Bath, paying tribute to the laneway’s history and once home to public baths, the Lyric Theatre and a local pig market. 

Large scale murals include Jack Fran’s Girl with Wattle tipping her hat, First Nations mural The Cultural Flower, and Laity Lane’s Flying Man and Daisy Leg’s Geometric Shapes.

A short walk through to Oscar’s Walk along Bendigo Creek and you’ll find I Am Djaara, at an impressive 9.6 metres and illuminated at night as part of the Djaara Lights precinct that comes to life each night.

Culinary Delights

Sweet or savoury? There are two stand outs when it comes to culinary delights in Bath Lane and there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t have both.

If you’re a chocolate lover, you’ve got to check out Indulge Fine Belgian Chocolates. This place is a chocolate dream come true with handcrafted treats that are seriously top notch. You’ll find all your favourites plus locally inspired flavours. The vibe is super cosy and best of all you can home something for later or find a gift that’ll wow someone special. Our favourite, the indulgent hot chocolate!

If you’re itching for some seriously good Italian food, Borchelli Ristorante is where you need to be. This spot has all the cosy and traditional Italian vibes and serves up delicious pastas that’ll make your taste buds dance. Yum!
