2010 Shep Road Trip Pt1


This is Tatura. At least this is where the bus dropped me off in Tatura. You can actually kind of see the main street in this pic.
There doesn’t seem to be all that much in Tatura, besides the caravan park that we’re staying at … oh, and there’s the crazy painted fake cows in the park near the main street.
But those cows are found in all of the towns in this area. Or so it seems.
And there’s a much greater selection of them in Shep. I really need/hope to get back there and get a picture and making them a world famous landmark … although the Shep council probably tries pimping them out as such already.

Mooroopna.
What can be said about good old Mooroopna?
It has a water tower near the centre or town. But that’s not unique to just Mooroopna. You can find water tower in any old country town. I mean this picture could be anywhere … at least anywhere in Victoria. I don’t really know what country towns in the rest of Australia are like.

But besides the standard country town water tower, there’s also the SPC cannery as well as some animal feed making factory. I didn’t really catch the name of it.
Apparently I didn’t feel the need to take pictures of both the factories, so this on little picture is going to have to do.
But besides those two (and possibly more) factories, there’s also a fantastic image of Australia on someone’s nature strip. It’s on Lenne St if you ever want to see it for yourself.
There’s also something for all those American Dad! and Family Guy fans out there. I really don’t think I have to actually say what it is, since this picture probably says all that needs to be said.
And I also took many, many pictures of the river and the flood waters. They’re nowhere near as impressive as what they were on Sunday when the others first arrived. But it still looks pretty cool. Especially since I haven’t seen any river that (or this. Not sure which) full for a very long time.
