Pall Mall & Shamrock Hotel
Pall Mall
A Victorian-era boulevard built with gold-rush wealth, lined with the Shamrock Hotel, the former post office and the Alexandra Fountain.
Pall Mall is Bendigo's most ornate street. Public and commercial buildings built with gold-mining wealth in the late 19th century line the road. The Shamrock Hotel, completed in 1897, has wrought-iron balconies and towers and has hosted many notable guests. Opposite, the former post office and courthouse, with their clock towers, now partly serve as a visitor center and exhibition spaces. At the western end of the street stands the Alexandra Fountain, built in 1881. Sightseeing trams run along the street, making it good for strolling and photography. It is free to visit, and you can have a drink at the Shamrock Hotel.
