From there we walked through the CBD and the central Mall - very quiet, not a lot of people out shopping! but a lovely area.
We enjoyed a nice relaxing arvy! - a good read and nana nap! :)
Great walking/cycling path in the park which circumnavigates the lake |
A fun water park for the kids |
Quite an expanse of water for a man made lake! |
Lovely gardens and water vegetation....... |
.........and colourful, modern water sculptures |
A massive River Red Gum forest stands impressively on the west side of the park and shelters a well used picnic area. |
Platypus territory! but alas we didn't spy any!! Still asleep!!! |
A suspension bridge crosses the Goulburn River on the walking/cycling trail |
Typical Aussie inland river - muddy and lined with River Red Gums |
Noisy Sulphur Crested Cockatoo's joined us on our walk! |
Fish havens amongst the rushes around the shore of the lake |
The mighty Aussie River Red Gums |
Great facilities for fishing! |

A lakeside beach to launch your kayak |
More platforms to fish from |
The proud and graceful Black Swans glided by! |
More Mooving Art around town! A pretty little lady! :) This pair of mooies were in the Tourist Information Centre which is is on the shores of the lake |
Lovely picnic areas and seating jutting out over the lake |
The very formal "The Carrington" Best Western Motel overlooks the park and lake |
An impressive home opposite the park and lake |
Lots of ducks enjoying the beautiful lake with the Aquatic centre in the background |
The old butter factory (1894) now houses shops - good they preserved the historical facade! |
Shepparton's tree lined Mall |
Nice parks along the Mall No wonder we get good internet and phone reception here!!! The Telstra Tower stands proud right in the middle of town! |
Entertainment area in the centre of the Mall |
Lovely colonial pub |
Leafy vine arbours in the Mall for shoppers to enjoy a bit of shade and a coffee |
