Over 20 s e Activiti
FREE & low cost activities in Greater Shepparton October 2014 - March 2015
Welcome
Welcome from Mayor Jenny Houlihan Council’s award winning Activities in the Park program encourages Greater Shepparton residents to get out and be active in our local parks. Activities in the Park offers over 200 free and low cost activities for everyone to enjoy. There is a range of interesting and exciting activities to help you stay healthy, active and connected in Greater Shepparton. I would like to especially recognise and give thanks to our sponsors Tatura Milk Industries, Unilever and Parks Victoria. I look forward to hearing about the success of this program and hope you are able to participate.
Welcome by Geva Mentor - Melbourne Vixens “In order for me to give my maximum in training and competition it’s extremely important to lead a healthy lifestyle, which not only incorporates fuelling your body with healthy foods and water, but enough sleep and keeping active to encourage a healthy mind as well as body. I juggle a busy netball schedule for both the Melbourne Vixens and England National side so it’s vital i maintain a balanced lifestyle. Making time and being organised is key, knowing when to have a break and to enjoy the simple things of being active and getting outdoors. After all it’s a great way for me as a non-local to meet and make friends with new people in the community.”

Geocaching While out walking you may wish to make it more interesting. Combining walking with some basic technology is referred to as GEOCACHING. Geocaching is a free high-tech treasure hunting activity where you use a Global Positioning System (GPS) to find caches hidden by other participants. Geocachers set off to find the cache at the coordinates that they have downloaded from the web to a hand held GPS.
What is a cache? Typically it is a lunch box type container holding a log book, pen and maybe some swappable items. Geocachers write a log in the book about their search, they may swap something they have for something in the box and replace the container exactly as they found it. Caching is all about engaging and exploring areas, some are puzzle based, some take you through several steps before you get to the final point.
