Ladys Pass is a locality in the City of Greater Bendigo, in the state of Victoria.
Etymology
The origin of the name is attributed to two stories. One suggests that during the era of horse-drawn coaches, women would disembark and walk through the passage while men pushed the coach. Another recounts a story of bushrangers who, while holding up a coach at the creek crossing, courteously allowed the women to pass unharmed.
