Quirky Pall Mall, all the strange things you didn’t know about Pall Mall.

Meet at St Kilian’s Church

Join tour leader Pip Johanson as she takes you on a walk along Pall Mall Bendigo. There are lots of strange and quirky stories to discover! Pall Mall, often called ‘the spine’ of the city, it runs in parallel with the Bendigo Creek where gold was discovered.
