Discussion: Bendigo heat island

Its there alright. We moved into town from the outskirts five or six years ago. The most obvious impact is that plants such as Andean chillies have survived outside through winter. That would never have happened where we were in Maiden Gully. The frost hollows are just as obvious as on the outskirts, just the ground temperatures are not as low. Left me wondering about the relevance of the new weather station at the airport and its relevance to Bendigo central.
