Getting Around Shepparton
Use the fixed-rate airport taxi service on the booking apps—it's about AUD 180-220 to Shepparton. Add AUD 20 if you need a baby seat. The motel is 10 mins from town centre, so worth the direct run.
Get the bus timetable app—runs hourly, but late afternoons stop at 18:30. You can walk from the station if you're light on bags: 20 min straight down High St then left on Wyndham.
Don't sit on the left side facing north—it's a long stretch of farmland with few views. The train tends to run a few minutes late, so don't rely on tight connections.
Book ahead online if you're travelling Friday afternoon or Monday morning—seats fill up. The coach stops at the station, then a short taxi ride to the motel.
