Planning a trip to Greater Shepparton? The Visitor Centre can help you get to know the Many Great Things about our region. Our local volunteer and veteran Shane is happy to share his Greater Shepparton insights. Conscripted into the army in 1969, Shane served for more than 20 years. He was posted in Nui Dat in South Vietnam for 12 months, working in a number of roles before retiring from the Army Reserve with the rank of Major. Shane and his wife have lived in Shepparton for 17 years and he’s been volunteering for 10 years. You will mostly see Shane welcoming visitors and swapping travel stories. Here’s Shane’s thoughts on Greater Shepparton. What do you love about living in Greater Shepparton? There is much that I love about living here. There’s great community spirit, exemplified through the way we celebrate our diverse community with events such as the Carols by Candlelight, the multicultural St Georges Rd Food Festival, performances of the local Goulburn Valley Concert Orchestra and the annual Shepparton Arts Festival. The city has really progressed over the years, the most notable is the development of the Victoria Park Lake precinct and the construction of the new Shepparton Art Museum building by the lake.
