About Corrugated-Iron-Bendigo
Our Journey Begins in 2012
Welcome to Corrugated-Iron-Bendigo, an online news platform dedicated to bringing you the latest and most reliable information about our vibrant city, Bendigo, and its surrounding areas. Founded in 2012, our website emerged from a collective vision to fill an information gap in the digital landscape of regional Victoria.
A Story of Purpose and Passion
The idea for this site stemmed from a group of local residents who recognized the need for a centralized source of news and insights that truly represented the diverse spirit of Bendigo. We set out to create a platform where our community could come together, share stories, and stay informed about the issues, events, and people shaping their city.
