VICBEARS @ THE CARNIVAL

The Carnival runs from 10.30am – 4.00pm in the Queen’s Gardens Park which is about a 5 minute walk from the Aussie Hotel. Organisers advise you bring your own blanket or seating and there is a strict no glass policy. The Queen’s Gardens are located on the corner of Wyndham & Nixon Streets, Shepparton.

GETTING THERE

Public transport

VLine does run a service between Melbourne and Shepparton, but from what we can see the only services running on this date that would be appropriate are the 9.12am service departing from Southern Cross station to Shepparton. The return VLine train is the 4.05pm service departing Shepparton back to Southern Cross station.

Private Car

Probably the best option and an easy 2 hour drive from Melbourne. Car-pooling is a great idea so if you’re offering or seeking a ride – feel free to leave your details in the comments section

STAY THE NIGHT! – ACCOMMODATION

For those bears wanting to stay the night, Shepparton has several accommodation options to suit everyone
