TATURA IRRIGATION & WARTIME CAMPS MUSEUM REVIEWS
A most interesting museum, full of well displayed information and memorabilia from the internment camps. Take time to watch the excellent video first. Volunteer George was most helpful and went out of his way to show me documents relating to my father.
This is a fabulous museum show casing the local area. It is full of artifacts and knowledge. The video about the war camps was fascinating. The volunteer staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth a visit.
Interment camp history not many would know about. Well set out museum, helpful staff taking extra time to explain the history. Well worth the visit.

Shepparton Heritage Centre Museum was established in 1962 and resides within Shepparton's Historic Precinct, an area recognized as the town's original nucleus over 150 years ago. Nestled close to the original McGuire’s Punt Crossing, established circa 1850, and the Emu Bush Inn, a resting place for gold field-bound travellers, the museum's location holds historical significance. Shepparton was identified as a town site in 1855, and in the 1870s, vast pastoral lands were subdivided for agricultural purposes. From 1871 to 1881, Shepparton's population surged from 33 individuals to over 1000. The museum boasts a collection of over 4,000 items, including letters, maps, studies, and journals, covering a wide array of historical themes pertinent to a thriving rural town's history.

SHEPPARTON HERITAGE CENTRE MUSEUM REVIEWS
The Heritage Centre is a must-see for visitors to Shepparton. It may look small on the outside but it's far bigger than it looks on the inside. They even have the old post-office clock in there! As well as a ton of things from the area from over the years. You could honestly spend hours in there, poking around. I definitely recommend a visit!
Worth the stop. Many thoughtful touches throughout the museum that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. Very reasonably priced. They have a student discount.
My wife and daughter enjoyed the Heritage Centre museum and the staff was very friendly and took the time and explain.

SHEPPARTON TOWER REVIEWS
Worth the large stair climb to see terrific views of Shepparton from above. Great to see where the rivers run between Shepparton and Mooroopna, worth the climb. It is open from 9am-3pm and is well worth a visit to see the spectacular view of the flat Goulburn Valley that Shepparton is located in. There are toilets at the bottom.
The Shepp Tower is in the centre of town in the Maude Street Mall just of Fraser Street. There are quite a few steps up to the glassed observation deck at the top.
