There is a town in Victoria, Australia called "Bendigo", formerly "Bendigo's Creek". Bendigo's Creek was named after "Bendigo's Hut", the hut of a shepherd with the nickname of "Bendigo" who had resided at the creek during the 1840s. The shepherd was nicknamed after the Nottingham bare-knuckled boxing prize-fighter William Abednego Thompson, generally known as "Bendigo Thompson".
