Did anyone ever find any more out about this? Any of the Bendigo locals know? I don't remember ever seeing anything on the VCC site.

It also reminds me to ask again if anyone knows what the two (from memory) bolts on the small face just to the left of Jewellery are (name, grade?). There is a anchor (double bolt and chain) directly above the route. I don't know how long they have been there, but at least since early this year.

Cheers,
Jamie
