BENDIGO (formerly SANDHURST)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 716 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BENDIGO (formerly SANDHURST) , a city of Bendigo county, Victoria, Australia, 1o1 m. by
rail
  N.N.W. of Melbourne. Pop. (1901) 31,020. It is the centre of a large gold-field consisting
of
quartz
  ranges, with some alluvial deposits, and many of the mines are deep-level workings. The discovery of alluvial gold in 1851 brought many immigrants to the
district
 ; but the opening up of the
quartz
  reefs in 1872 was the
principal
  factor in the importance of Bendigo. It became a municipality in 1855 and a city in 1871. It is the seat of
Anglican
  and Roman Catholic bishops. Besides
mining
 , the local
industries
  are the manufacture of Epsom pottery, bricks and tiles,
iron
 -
founding
 , stone-cutting,
brewing
 , tanning and coach-building. The surrounding
district
  produces quantities of wheat and fruits for export, and much excellent wine is made.
