6 Stories to Tell
Many Great Stories
to be told
If the buildings and landscapes could talk, what a story
would be told. Greater Shepparton has an amazing
depth of history full of intrigue, bravery, survival and
charm.
Heritage Centres located in Shepparton, Mooroopna,
Murchison, Tatura and Merrigum are filled with priceless
gems, from the history of the World War internment
camps scattered throughout the Murchison and Tatura
regions, the history of irrigation, farming and medical
procedures of the past. Our museums will engage,
charm and enlighten you.
The site of the historic river crossing of McGuires Punt
over the Goulburn is the location of the Shepparton
Heritage Museum. Also home to the Shepparton family
history group and the “Lost Shepparton” shop, the
museum gives an insight into how Shepparton used to
be and the importance of rivers to our local towns.
Tatura was home of the Victoria Cross recipient Private
Robert Mactier and the memorial gardens honouring
him. Private Mactier won the only Victoria Cross for
his battalion but made the ultimate sacrifice on 1
September 1918 at Mont St Quentin, France. Not only
does Tatura have a depth of history from World War I
but a museum filled with artefacts pertinent to World
War II and the internment camps that housed German
and Italian internees throughout the area. The museum
hosts an amazing array of memorabilia showing what
life was like in the camps.
The Merrigum museum is open by appointment and
also hosts an annual open day with demonstrations
of working farm machinery and household
appliances — come along and make your own butter
and don’t forget to try some of the amazing damper
straight out of the camp fire. Delicious!
