There’s something special about Shepparton in spring. The air feels fresher, the orchards come alive with blossoms, and the town hums with energy as locals and visitors embrace the outdoors again. Here are five top things to do in Shepparton this season.
1. Stroll around Victoria Park Lake
Spring mornings are made for walks around the lake. The trees are in bloom, the birds are out in force, and the gentle breeze over the water sets the perfect pace for a leisurely start to your day.
2. Visit the Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton
Wildflowers burst into colour in spring, and the gardens showcase the region’s diverse native plant life. The lookout offers a panoramic view of the landscape dotted with bright greens and yellows — a photographer’s dream.
3. Explore the Moooving Art Trail
The city’s colourful cow sculptures are always worth a look, but spring’s blue skies and mild weather make the trail even more enjoyable. Take your time and spot as many as you can scattered around town.
4. Enjoy local produce and markets
Spring is harvest season in the Goulburn Valley. Visit local markets for fresh fruit, handmade goods, and a taste of the region’s friendly spirit. It’s the perfect way to connect with Shepparton’s community.
5. Take a country drive
The surrounding countryside is at its prettiest in spring. Rolling green fields, wildflowers, and blossoming orchards make every short drive a scenic adventure.
