Experience the largest Buddhist stupa in the Western world. The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion situated near Bendigo, Victoria, is the same size and design as The Great Stupa of Gyantse in Tibet. It rises to a total height of 48 metres above Bendigo’s distinctive bushland, and is 50 metres wide at its base. The Great Stupa is home to many holy objects. Foremost amongst these is the magnificent Jade Buddha for Universal Peace which is the largest Buddha carved from gem quality jade in the world. Wander the Peace Park and see beautiful relics and artworks inside The Great Stupa. Learn about Buddhism, Asian culture and art. Treat yourself with an artisan gift from the shop or have a barista-style coffee and a bite to eat at StupaView Café. It’s a pet friendly site as long as your furry friend is kept on a leash.

What an amazing place to find nestled in the Australian bush land, just outside Bendigo! An astonishing blend of Eastern philosophy, nature park, temple, learning and peace! Could not recommend a stop off here more highly, to both enjoy, learn and view. The small tour of the temple was a stand out but really there wasn’t a dull second doing the self guided walk.

The Eaglehawk Log Lock Up was built in 1851 and then restored by community organisations later on. This is an interesting part of local history.
