I am not sure how a few of the previous reviews were formed. In any large country town, city or small village there can be troubelmakers or bad experiences people have, especially visitors. This should not reflect the whole comunity or destination in general. In my experience Shepparton is a great large country town. It (like most places) does have a few drawbacks but it is far outweighed by the good ones. It is reasonably cheap real estate, good schooling, 2 x Private Schools (not 1), a multitude of shops and shopping centres. Some very good areas and some not so good in respect to living. I agree the council needs to stop removing any remaining hisorical significance to the place but overall it is a respectable place to live. If you walk the streets at night of course you will see the bogans and red necks (as you do most places) just steer clear (like most normal people do).

I would have no hesitation moving back to Shepparton if an oportunity existed for me too.
Not sure about all the cows?
I love the new lake development, it looks awesome.
