Shepparton

Shepparton is a city in The Murray region of Victoria.

Get in
From Melbourne it's around 175 km – that is, two hours' drive, by using the M31 Hume Freeway and the M39 Goulburn Valley Freeway north.

You can also catch a train from Southern Cross Station, Melbourne which takes 2.5 hours

By taxi
The town is small and buses infrequent. Hiring a taxi may be your best option.

By bike
Shepparton streets are quiet and the town is small so hiring a bicycle and riding is an option. There are lovely riding paths along the rivers. Bikes available for hire from Aquamoves and the Big4 Caravan Park.

By bus
Most bus routes around town operate each hour during business hours on weekdays, with a more limited timetable on Saturday and no services on Sunday.. For routes and timetable see the Public Transport Victoria website.

Sleep
The Hotel Carrington is an OK facility, but since there is a strong smell of chlorine in their water, it is better to buy your drinking water from outside, if you stay there. Same for the food.
