Bandiana is a Suburb of the City of Wodonga local government area in northeast Victoria, Australia.
Bandiana takes its name from the early name for the area, probably from a First Nations toponym.
The hill now known as Bears Hill appears as Bandiana Range in early maps[1] and the Street family selected the property Bandiana Park in the late 1800s.[2]
The Australian Defence Force has had a logistics and maintenance base in the area since 1942 and there was once a rail line and station servicing the area. Bandiana Military Post Office opened on 28 September 1942 and the region is still a major Australian Army logistics facility.[3]
