About Us: Truss-Bendigo
Our Journey Begins (2010)
Truss-Bendigo was born out of a passion for delivering accurate and unbiased news in an era when information overload often obscured the truth. Founded in 2010, our journey started as a humble online platform with a simple mission: to provide a reliable source of news and insights focused on the vibrant city of Bendigo, Australia.
