Bendoc Gold Mining

Bendoc is small village situated on the Northern edge of the Victorian High Country. It is known for its historical gold mining era when over 1000 people inhabited the alluvial and reef mining operatons.  Over the last century, natural resource production has continued as an important part of the rural economy. Sustainable native forest production, sawmilling, and valuable mixed grazing farms characterise the ventures that occur in the Bendoc area.

History of Bendoc

Delegate is a village that forms a hub for the farming community in the Eastern border country of NSW and Victoria. Like many rural places, the community has seen progressive change and loss of services as Governments continue to centralise people and services.  At a time when country Australia provides the solution to many of the challenges that overcrowded cities experience, Delegate remains an important zone for agriculture, forestry and recreational activities.

​

Delegate is the gateway to vast areas of public land where 4WD touring, camping, fishing, hunting, horse riding, mountain biking and bush appreciation provide valuable and lasting experiences for visitors.

Please take the time to explore the following website and we look forward to you visiting Delegate sometime.
