Social connections
Bendigo has a rich cultural heritage. It has been home to the first people of Dja Dja Wurrung for tens of thousands of years and the city pays homage through the naming of significant places such as Ulumbarra Theatre.
It was the gold rush of the 1850s that saw Bendigo grow as a major town of the region with 20 per cent of the population from China; working as miners and merchants. The boom brought wealth to the region for the next 90 years which can be seen in the architecture, cultural events and hardworking community spirit of today.
