‘YOUR OWN BACKYARD’ H BUCKET LIST

AVE fuel prices got you counting pennies and wondering when you will enjoy your next adventure? You don’t need to worry or to travel far because the Goulburn Valley has plentiful options to enjoy nature in Greater Shepparton and surrounds.

1. CLIMB MOUNT MAJOR IN DOOKIE

Mount Major is popular with walkers and mountain bike enthusiasts. The peak reaches 381m (1251 ft) above sea level and is accessible via Mulana non iyoga (Yorta Yorta for ‘Spirit of the Stone’) – a 4.6km return walk at the mountain's northern side. For a challenge, turn off Dookie Nalinga Road and try the Mt Major TV Road return trail beyond the University of Melbourne sign. The effort is worth the stunning views.

2. RIDE TO THE AUSTRALIAN BOTANICAL GARDENS SHEPPARTON VIA A BUSHLAND PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE

Cyclists can now travel easily and safely to Shepparton’s Botanical Gardens thanks to the recently unveiled bike path extension and pedestrian bridge. The site of the Botanical Gardens is former landfill that has been regenerated into a showcase of Australian native plants and distinct themed gardens.

3. EXPLORE LOCAL FREE CAMPING AND FISHING AREAS

This region offers abundant free camping sites, as well as access to waterways for those who want to throw in a line. Goulburn National Park and Shepparton Regional Park are close by or sites like a little further afield, like Lower Goulburn National Park in Kotupna, will transport you far away from home.

4. ORGANISE A TRELLY’S CANOE TRIP

Don’t want to rough it but still itching to explore? Trelly’s Outdoor will do the work and set up an experience for you paddling down the Goulburn. Call Ross on 0488 775 477 to see how Trelly’s can make your adventure unforgettable.

Farmer’s markets are a great way local people can connect with local producers and growers. A great range of fresh fruit is grown right here in the Goulburn Valley. Emerald Bank Market lights up Kialla the first and third Sunday of every month and offers fresh produce at farm-gate prices. For more local markets, go to https:// visitshepparton.com.au/events/markets

WILL YOU FIND THE REGION’S

OLDEST TREE?

By Deanne Jeffers recently took a long weekend in the Daylesford and Hepburn areas for my birthday. It’s always great to explore a new region, and especially since the start of the pandemic, it is something I try to do often. We had a great time adventuring to waterfalls and lavender farms, but one of my favourite parts of the trip was the abundance of ancient, giant trees. Walking through their old-growth forests makes you believe you’re in a different country and creates tantalising microclimates that cool the area.

I want your help finding and recording stand out trees in Greater Shepparton and surrounds.

Old and tall trees are scarce in the area, and I hope that by raising awareness for our surviving trees we can celebrate and cement the importance of protecting and preserving forests. Are you aware of a tree locally that is old, tall, or that has another feature that you find striking? Be a citizen scientist and reach out to Deanne at deanne.jeffers@ sheppartonadviser.com.au to record your tree.

IVING in regional Australia means it’s no surprise when a rogue kangaroo decides to make a mad dash in front of our cars. As sad as it is, it’s always a good idea to have the added protection of a bull bar in place to protect your vehicle. Bull bars not only protect your vehicle from mishaps and during off-road adventures, but they also allow you to mount winches and attach accessories such as driving lights, aerials and sand flags if you partake in a little dune driving on a beach adventure. Trek Hardware 4x4 Superstore Shepparton are proud stockists of Jungle 4x4 bull bars, which are designed and developed by Trek. All Jungle bull bars are airbag compatible and ADR approved, having been tested in Australia.

CAMPING WITH KIDS N

AME a question more annoying than “Are we there yet?”, I’ll wait. While camping with kids can be painful with packing everything under the sun, spending the car trip as a human vending machine and hearing that dreadful aforementioned question, the memories you’ll make are well worth it. Here are some basic tips for camping with kids, whether it be on a weekend trip or a three-month adventure: • Plan ahead! Learn the area where you’re camping via google so you can work out where to get food if needed, what to pack and what activities/sites there are close by. Check the weather and make a checklist so you don’t forget anything vital. • Prepare meals earlier where possible, like spaghetti bolognese or a curry, meals that are easy to heat up when you arrive. Also think about meals that are easy to cook once at the campsite. • We do live in Victoria, so weather isn’t

always predictable. Make sure you pack indoor games to keep the kids entertained. Some Lego, colouring-in books, puzzles, reading books and magnetic tiles will all do the trick. • Kids can get smelly, right? Consider how you’ll keep them clean, most likely without running water. Load up on baby wipes and sanitiser as you might be skipping a shower if there aren’t any facilities. Alternatively, look into a handy, lightweight camp shower. They’re easy to use and everyone will go to bed nice and clean. • Children have a knack for needing the toilet at super convenient times, like at 3am. If you’re camping in the bush or at the beach with no toilet facilities, a kid’s portaloo is an essential item to bring. Remember to take deep breaths, take in the serenity and make wonderful memories with your family, even if you’re tired from being woken up at 3am for a bush wee.
