This was the main reason that I made a trip up to Bendigo for a weekend, not just because I like…read moreart galleries (which I do), but because they had an exhibition of Greek artifacts which would instantly catch my attention, as well as a booking for an entire weekend. It also gave me a good excuse to go and wonder around the town just to get the vibe of the place. I must say that the Greek exhibition was outstanding, not so the other exhibition on Victorian underwear (I really don't like fashion). However, the gallery also had a pretty decent art collection as well, with paintings both from Australia and abroad (but no Picasso, though there were a couple of impressionists). The incense burners from China were also pretty cool, as where the neo-classical statues out the back, which depicted scenes from Ovid's Metamorphosis.

With artists on display like Sir Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, Adam Cullen, Juan Davila and Norman Lindsay. Amazing art displayed on whether some like it or not, an Australian icon. You can also see it's collection which includes painting, sculpture, ceramics, decorative arts, photography, works on paper, and Australian art. This really is worth a trip to Bendigo to experience.

The Book Grocer has an awesome selection of books that's always evolving.

Books in their display windows are usually a tenner, and last weekend, every single book was 5$! How good is that?! They needed to make room for more stock that's coming. So, I managed to grab some real bargains such as John Torode's 'Beef' cookbook (hardback), Bruce Parry's Amazon, a brick sized Collins Spanish-English-Spanish dictionary among several paperback fiction and some childrens books. All for five bucks each, seriously in this age when a new paperback costs almost thirty. I guess that gives you an idea of their range, and they also have selections of religion, politics, history, art, business, culture and sciences as well. In the past I've picked up a few design books as well. Even though many have embraced e-books, I personally still like to have a real book in my hand. The BG is great to have a browse everyweek as I bet you'll discover something you'd like to read especially as it's still curl-up-on-your-couch season.

I highly recommend this business for knowing their products WELL, and the service is of the utmost hightest standard. I left there feeling very pleased and happy. Thankyou Shaverman, you restored my faith in young people able to give excellent service and treat the customer with the utmost respect and friendliness. I first attended your store approx 5 years ago and have been going there once every one or two months for this time and every single time you provide the best most professional yet friendly service I have ever received anywhere. I cannot thankyou enough as I buy many things online now due to bad service, but you good people have kept me coming there because its an absolute pleasure to go there every single time. Thankyou.

This is my first YELP review. I needed to help these guys get the word out!!…read moreThese guys really know what they are doing. Amazing service. Great quality parts used. I dropped my Samsung galaxy s4 on the ground and the screen smashed. It went black after a few days of working while the screen was still smashed. After the phone stopped working I used my mums iphone to call around to get the best price. It turned out that the screens cost a lot to start with so most prices are around $280-$320. That in mind the price offered by Bendigo Smartphones was $260 for a full screen replacement on my samsung galaxy s4. They explained why the price was that way and it's due to the fact that you can't separate the glass screen front from the LCD screen without breaking the LCD screen. So I guess the if I had tried to do it myself I may have stuff my phone up. Defiantly have a look at their website, their site isn't great but it's a start and they are a new business. Their website my need a pro to help them but all said the business is pretty good. They are at 328 Lyttleton terrace Bendigo. Www.bendigosmartphones.com.au. 0456 930 959 Cheers Harry Dale
