Things to do in Shepparton

Shepparton (population 28 000) is the major centre of the Goulburn Valley and the headquarters of the Goulburn Valley irrigation system. Located 179 km north of Melbourne on the Goulburn Valley Highway, Sheparton is 113 metres above sea-level. The surrounding area produces a substantial proportion of the state's agricultural output - especially fruit, vegetables, cereals and milk products. Local industry includes 2 enormous fruit canneries (SPC and Ardmona), Campbell's Soups, a foundry and a woollen mill.

Shepparton Museum and Historic Precinct: The local museum is really very good with displays about local industry, clothing, transport, communications, shopping and local agriculture. The building houses the 19th-century four-faced post office clock, which still works.

Adjacent is the 'Historic Precinct' by the Goulburn River where you can see an Aboriginal canoe tree (bearing the scars where the bark was removed for the construction of a canoe), the remains of a wharf (circa 1880) from the paddle steamer days and the site of the punt around which Shepparton grew.

Shepparton Art Gallery: The art gallery has a strong ceramics display ranging from the colonial era to the modern. An annual ceramics award attracts submissions from all over the world. Displays from late January to the end of March. There are also some Australian modernist paintings and a few items from the Heidelberg school.

Golfers can enjoy some of Australia's best and most challenging provincial courses with facilities second to none.

The Tatura Irrigation and Wartime Camps Museum offers a fascinating insight into the prisoner of war camps, and their internees, that were located in the area during World War II. Contact the Greater Shepparton Visitor Information Centre for opening hours of the historical museums.

Greater Shepparton is home to SPC Ardmona KidsTown, one of the largest outdoor playgrounds in Australia.

The Goulburn River Pedestrian Bridge links the popular Victoria Park Lake precinct, featuring the Aquamoves complex and S-CAPE skate park, with SPC Ardmona KidsTown via the Yahna Gurtji pathway network.
