What is the swift code for Bendigo Bank?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The SWIFT or BIC for Bendigo Bank is BENDAU3B which is easy enough to find after a quick search. The IBAN is a little bit more difficult. We don't use IBANs in AUS. According to Commonwealth Bank, to obtain an IBAN all you need to do is add your BSB and accnt# together, so i can only assume the same would apply for Bendigo. eg. 633000111111111

How many traffic lights per city?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A LARGE CITY CAN HAVE AS MANY AS 10,000 INTERSECTIONS. MULTIPLY THIS TIMES ROUGHLY EIGHT AND IT IS CONCIEVABLE THAT A CITY SUCH AS LOS ANGELES OR HOUSTON COULD HAVE 80 THOUSAND TRAFFIC SIGNALS HANGING IN THEIR INTERSECTIONS. MULTIPLY THAT TIMES THREE AND THATS 240 THOUSAND LIGHT BULBS. ADD IN THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND PEDESTRIAN LIGHTS AND YOU APPROACH A MILLION LIGHTS OR MORE!

How many kilometers between Brisbane Australia and Bendigo Australia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer 1:

More than 1.5k - according to Google Maps, 1,616 kilometres on the shortest route.

The length of time it takes is almost a day, and that's if you continue without any breaks! For the average person, probably about 30-35 hours - including resting, food & drink, and occasional sight-seeing along the way.

Answer 2:

It is a distance of 1609km from Brisbane to Bendigo, travelling via the Gore Highway out of Toowoomba, then straight down the Newell Highway. Travel time, without breaks, is 19 hours, so it is a trip best spread over at least two days.
