Victoria (Melbourne Region)

Shepparton
The small city of SHEPPARTON is the operations centre for the SPC and Ardmona canned fruit companies, with peaches, pears, apples and plums tinned and exported worldwide; with its pleasant riverside picnic spots, it also makes a good place to stop for a while on the way to Echuca. Tourist information is located beside Victoria Park Lake in the south of town, at 534 Wyndham St on the Goulburn Valley Highway (daily 9am–5pm). 
A place to stay for budget travellers is the River Road Holiday Camp which has dorms, a pool and tennis courts; during the harvest season from December to March there’s a transport service to the farms.
