The week in Shepparton
Sunday - Went for a road trip to Echucha, which is roughly 1 and 1/2 hours away from Shepparton. It is like a small town version of Ballarat with quite antique style architecture with quaint gift shops and cute home-made candy and confectionery shops.

Hard to find such a place where it is open during sundays. Echucha also boasts of its red-gum wood and steamer services down the Murray River. You can choose to take a short ride or join in for their lunch/dinner menus atop the cruise. You can even choose to organize events such as weddings on the simple steamer cruise, so not my type anyway.
,We opted instead for a nice picnic along the shore of Murray river. A-ha... maybe not a very good idea, we spend almost half the time trying to chase off flies and the birds who are not shy at all~! XP
There is another quite important place to drop by in Echucha, which is a fish and oyster bar which boasts the best fish and chips in Victoria states. Unlike other shops who claimed that they are the best in certain fields, this shop actually displayed the newspaper article dubbing them Victoria's best fish and chips shop. True to its name, it is very nice, winning over Fremantle's fish and chips. And the amazing part is? the shop is managed and handled by only one person~!
