Shepparton is located in central Victoria only a two hour drive north West of Bendigo or two and a half hours North of the capital of Victoria Melbourne. The first Europeans to pass though this area were two cattle ranglers overlanding from Albury to Adelaide in 1838. However it wasn't until 1843 that there were signs of a township by the Goulburn River, the settlement was initially known as Macguire's after the man who established a punt service on the Goulburn for the diggers headed to the goldfields. The name has been changed to Sheppardtown by 1855 and in time had became a stopover for the paddlesteamer service on the Goulburn River. A major expansion of agricultural production and of the local population occurred after 1912 when irrigation really got under way and in 1917, the Shepparton Preserving Company (SPC) was formed. Today it is one of the world's largest fruit canneries.
Shepparton while known as the food bowl of Australia, is also a region with an emphasis on family fun. This small but sucessful town boasts shopping and entertainment you'd expect to find in a large city but if you take the time to relax and soak up the relaxing friendly environment this region of Victoria has to offer you will be pleasantly surprised.
