Car Rental > Victoria > Grandpas Guide to Driving in Shepparton

 

It’s been a while since I’ve last seen a captivating place. I’m excited to have another visit to Shepparton! Planning to visit there?  Book a car with Sheparton Car Rental and be ready to have an incredible experience!

 

Shepparton is a city situated on a plain bordering Goulburn River in the northeastern side of Victoria, Australia and is about 200 kilometers northeast of Melbourne.

 

Shepparton has an estimated population of 48, 926 and is considered as the fifth largest city in Victoria. The city began as a tiny sheep station and river crossing before undergoing a major transformation as a railway town. And today, it is an agricultural and manufacturing centre. It is also the centre of the Goulburn Valley irrigation system which is one of the largest irrigation centres in Australia! Shepparton is also a major regional service city and is the civic administration centre for the City of Greater Shepparton.

 

Now that’s an interesting background! Now let’s check out some of Shepparton’s fascinating tourist attractions!

 

1. The Kids Town Adventure Playground

 

Located between Shepparton and Mooroopna, Kids Town has activities for all ages thus making it widely regarded as the most excellent community playground in Australia!

 

An easy two-hour drive from Melbourne on the Midland Highway, this world-class, child-oriented, adventure playground is a place to visit if you have your little tots with you (well, I think even those young-at-heart will definitely enjoy the place).

 

The Playground is designed to entertain and stimulate children of all ages! And here’s what: the Playground has facilities for children of all physical abilities, including wheelchair access for some equipment! There are also lots of shaded and sheltered seats for parents near the equipment because it is a requirement that all children should be supervised by an adult at all times (there’s nothing wrong for being cautious while having fun right?).

 

And you don’t have to worry about food while you and your kids are enjoying in the park! A kiosk is open daily between 10am to 2pm Monday-Friday, and 10am to 4pm during Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays! And it records of  over 150,000 visitors a year!

 

What else are you waiting for? Come to Kids Town and enjoy a thrilling holiday your whole family will truly love!

 

2. The Shepparton Moooving Art

 

This is an event that you should not miss! Imagine a cow painted with jellybeans, strawberries, and other charming designs!

The Shepparton Moooving Art is a public art exhibition of painted cow sculptures around the Greater Shepparton region!

 

Be awed on how artistic the people in Shepparton are!

 

 

3. The Bangerang Cultural Centre

 

Bangerang Cultural Museum showcases a unique collection of art and artifacts that explains the rich culture of Australia’s first people —the Bangerang people!

 

This is the first Aboriginal Cultural Museum to be developed and managed by the Aboriginal community in Australia! The museum houses collections of important artifacts and artworks from Aboriginal communities across Australia!

 

In the Bangerang Cultural Centre, people can learn about a world that is interesting and exciting through taking part in the visual experience of viewing life-sized dioramas! Visitors will definitely be given a “snap shot” of traditional Aboriginal cultural life style!

 

Bangerang Cultural Centre is a place where culture is acclaimed through discovery and learning!

 

 

Shepparton is truly an endearing place to visit and see!

 

Cheers!
