A whole region of activities on offer ACCORDING to the Australian Bureau of Statistics more than 15 percent of the Greater Shepparton population is aged 65 and above, which is why there is such an abundance of activities available in the area that have become popular among the ageing population. As well as the many senior clubs around the region that offer a place for companionship, fun and entertainment, Greater Shepparton has a multitude of activities to keep even the fussiest entertained from the Botanic Gardens and
the serene Victoria Park Lake to the many walking tracks. But if it’s history and art that really tickles your pickle then the heritage centres and museums have just the thing you need. The Shepparton Art Museum always has something new and fascinating to see and if you’re a motor head then there’s the Shepparton Motor Museum/Furphy Museum. For history buffs and culture seekers the Shepparton Heritage Centre Museum, Bangerang Cultural Centre,
Historical Society of Mooroopna Museum and Gallery, Tatura Irrigation and War time Camps Museum and Murchison and District Historical Society Museum are sure to please. No matter what you’re into, Greater Shepparton has everything and more to keep you occupied and to enjoy life everyday.
