Mandurang
Mandurang, derived from an Aboriginal word meaning black cicada,[1] is a rural locality in the County of Bendigo,[2] in the Australian state of Victoria. It grew and developed as a goldfield settlement and logging locality, though today mostly consists of small farms and wineries,.[3] It is 10 km (6 mi) south of Bendigo, Victoria and is reputed by the government mapping agency, to be the geographic centre of Victoria at 36° 51' 15"S, 144° 16' 52" E.
