hi All,
Inspired by the members inclination towards Bendigo as investment spot, I decided to checkout the place myself on the weekend.
Lined up some inspections on Sat and drove to Bendigo from Melb (130 kms one way). Inspected 6-7 houses on Sat and one agent suggested since I am visitng Bendigo for the first time, should go and visit some tourist sites.
His suggestion was to visit
-Sacred heart Cathedral
-Central Deborah Gold Mine
Checked out the first site and then visited the second.
Call it bad luck, entered the lane adjacent to the Gold mine and parked the car.
When I stepped out, there were cops behind me and asked me to provide my license.
They told me I did not see No Entry sign and entered the lane which was ONE WAY only. They also did breath test but I had not consumed alcohol.
Believe me it was only 10-20 mts inside the lane and parked the car in 3rd bay
I received the notice today and it was staggerring 248$ with 3 demerit points.
Australia is a lucky country and its FAIR GO for everyone...
I am thinking why did I go to Bendigo....
Is there a way I can get away with the fine (either a fee waiver or reduction in demerit points).
Regards,
TV
