Tramways Depot

Victoria


The last stop on the Bendigo Talking Tram line is this depot workshop, where you can clamber aboard old trams and watch repairs and renovations. There's a self-guided-tour map for a look around, as well as videos, displays and old photographs on the history of Bendigo Tramways. It's occasionally closed at weekends, so call ahead.
