Greater Shepparton is synonymous with great food, wine, waterways and weather. Shepparton is a regional city located on the floodplain of the Goulburn River in northern Victoria. Approximately 181 kilometres north-northeast of Melbourne, it began as a sheep station and river crossing in the mid-19th century, before undergoing a major transformation as a railway town. Today Shepparton is an agricultural and manufacturing centre, and the centre of the Goulburn Valley irrigation system, one of the largest centres of irrigation in Australia. It is also a major regional service city and the seat of local government and civic administration for the City of Greater Shepparton, which includes the surrounding towns of: Tatura, Merrigum, Mooroopna, Murchison, Dookie, Toolamba and Grahamvale.
