For tourists, local residents and educational purposes this should illustrate what Bendigo workers in Bendigo foundries and Bendigo citizens generally, achieved in making this city a world famous gold mining centre. That Victoria Hill be made available and developed for the benefit of tourists and local residents' Memberrs of the BHS involved: J. Hattam President, E. Clarke, Neil Murray, A.
