Shepparton

Shepparton lies in the Goulburn Valley, a major agricultural and food processing region termed the "food bowl of Australia". On the banks of the Goulburn River, Shepparton offers great weather, great food and wine, and many recreational and entertainment facilities.

Shepparton is a fantastic place to explore as a family. Run wild at the SPC Ardmona KidsTown Adventure Playground that features a miniature railway, giant slides, tree houses, a fruit bin maze, flying fox, swings and monkey bars. Enjoy a picnic by Victoria Park Lake, a community hub in the town’s heart that attracts groups year-round. Visit the Aquamoves complex on the western edge of the lake, offering a state-of-the-art aquatic centre with pools, a waterslide, spas and sauna.

Visit the ceramics collection at the Shepparton Art Gallery or try milking a cow at the Emerald Bank Heritage Farm. Keep an eye out for the life-size fibreglass cows, tucked in strange places around town as part of the MooovingArt initiative. Local factory sales outlets are good places to grab bargains.
