Donovans: colossal bombe alaska!
This will be a short and sweet post on this bay-side institute – pun intended. Please refrain from the urge to scroll all the way down.

45 View St Bendigo 03 54444655 Wednesday night in Bendigo is ‘wine tasting night’ at Wine Bank on View. They provide a weekly selection of hand-picked wines (generally locally but also many from afar) for free tasting.
