Mooroopna is 3-4 km from Shepparton across the Goulburn River, by road or by the bicycle/footpath. Ardmona Kidstown is half way between the two towns and offers an innovative area for children to spend many happy hours.

Mooroopna is now a vibrant shopping centre and the town has many pleasant parks and gardens worthy of a family picnic.

The Historical Society of Mooroopna exists to establish, maintain and manage a collection of historical items and to restore, preserve, catalogue and display articles of importance to the history of Mooroopna and District.

Our collection comprises two segments. The first is devoted to the history of Mooroopna and District and the second to the history of the Mooroopna Hospital, which changed its name to the Goulburn Valley Base Hospital in 1977.

The Society encourages the collection of items relevant to our citizens and their families as well as social, industrial, agricultural and horticultural history.

Membership is open to anyone with an interest in Mooroopna and its history and with payment of the appropriate annual subscription, ie individuals $15.00, family $20, pensioners $10. Kindly address applications to the Treasurer.
