Ladys Pass is a locality in the City of Greater Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.

Etymology

The origin of the name is attributed to two stories. [5] 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. [5]
