Shepparton Day Trip from Melbourne: Sun, Cars & Art! ☀️🚗🎨

Despite the recent cold snap, our day in Shepparton was blessed with golden sunshine—perfect for snapping Insta-worthy shots! Here’s how we spent 24 hours in this charming regional town: 🚗 Getting There 2-hour drive from Melbourne via Northern Hwy → Passed endless canola fields (golden in winter! 🌾). Pro tip: Take a detour for photos if time allows! 📍 Stop 1: MOVE Motor Museum + Milestone Café MOVE Museum ($15 entry): A car lover’s dream—vintage Ferraris, rare Tuckers, and kid-friendly exhibits (our little one literally crawled under cars to inspect them!). Milestone Café: Wagyu burger (juicy!) + Pork Benny (with "Lao Gan Ma"-style chili sauce—spicy heaven!). Latte: Standard, but the sunny patio seating made it 10/10. 🖼️ Stop 2: SAM Art Museum (Plan B after Lego exhibit closed!) Free entry + world-class vibes: Hyper-realistic sculptures (uncanny valley alert! 😳). Fancy bathrooms (yes, they’re a talking point). Missed the Lego exhibit? SAM’s rooftop views more than made up for it. 📸 Secret Spot: Lakeside Park Next to SAM: Stumbled upon a postcard-perfect scene—swans, reflections, and golden hour light.
