Shepparton, Australia
Fruit Tin City
"Canned, Preserved, and Proud of It"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield quartered with a tin of SPC peaches rampant, a Murray River cod leaping over a sun-scorched highway, and a dairy cow chewing thoughtfully beneath a motto scroll reading 'We Preserve Everything, Including Our Traffic Jams'. Surmounted by a cracked irrigation channel in lieu of a crown.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Visited Shepparton for the SPC cannery tour and left smelling faintly of tinned pears for three days. The Goulburn Valley Highway roundabouts are genuinely a full-time hobby to navigate, and the summer heat sits on you like a wet towel from the Aquamoves pool. That said, the multicultural food scene is a proper surprise for a regional town this size, and the Vaughan Street murals are worth the trip alone."— Barry Fenwick, Wangaratta
Property Listing
Nestled in the heart of the Goulburn Valley, this thriving regional hub offers unbeatable proximity to world-class orchards, a booming food-processing industry, and summers so warm you'll never need to leave the air-conditioned Shepparton Marketplace! Perfect for buyers who dream of owning a slice of Australia's fruit bowl, quite literally.
Twinned With
Del Monte California — Both towns owe their entire existence to putting fruit in cans and calling it an economy.
Supporting Evidence
Shepparton is home to SPC, one of Australia's oldest and largest fruit canning and food processing companies, and the region supplies a huge share of the nation's canned fruit and dairy.
