This latest vehicle will be based in Blackbutt to service residents in that area.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Strohfeld and Leigh Dudgeon, from Struddy&#8217;s Sports, cut the ribbon to open the branch officially.<\/p>\n<p>The Murgon agency is open from 8:30am to 4:30pm Mondays to Thursdays, and 8:30am to 5:00pm on Fridays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Photos: Submitted]<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_147670\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-147670\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-147670\" title=\"Bendigo Bank opening\" src=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo2.jpg 620w, https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo2-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-147670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bendigo customer relationship manager Sasha Ross, Anne Woodrow, Cr Kathy Duff and Noel Strohfeld<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_147672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-147672\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-147672\" title=\"Bendigo Bank opening\" src=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo4.jpg 620w, https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo4-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-147672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bendigo Bank Regional Manager Rob Chittick with Cr Ros Heit and SBCE committee member Lionel\u00a0 Kerr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_147668\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-147668\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-147668\" title=\"Bendigo Bank opening\" src=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo5.jpg 620w, https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo5-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-147668\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Noel Strohfeld, Cr Kathy Duff, Cr Ros Heit, Anne Woodrow and Bendigo staff members at the sausage sizzle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_147671\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-147671\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-147671\" title=\"Bendigo Bank opening\" src=\"http:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo3.jpg 620w, https:\/\/southburnett.com.au\/news2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160607bendigo3-300x146.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-147671\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Happy Bendigo Bank employees and supporters at the &#8220;official&#8221; agency opening last Thursday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;official&#8221; opening of Murgon&#8217;s Bendigo Bank agency &#8211; located inside Struddy&#8217;s Sports &#8211; occurred last week with much fanfare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":147669,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5,3],"tags":[369],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.11 -
