Monopoly’s Shepparton edition is here.
Greater Shepparton’s ‘food bowl of Australia’ crops and attractions have become landmarks replacing the board game’s classic squares, such as Mayfair and Park Lane.
Winning Moves’ Jaime-Lee de Niet said Shepparton was an integral part of Victoria “from its abundant farmlands to quaint wineries”.
“After spending the past year diving into the rich and emerging life Shepparton has to offer, we’re excited to reveal a game that we hope the community will feel represents all that’s special about their home,” she said.
City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali said the community was built on opportunity, creativity, and a love “for the place we call home”.
“Now, with our very own Monopoly board, the world gets to see just how special our region is,” he said.
The custom Shepparton-themed property squares and cards are:
- Brown: Canola Crops, Australian Botanic Gardens.
- Light blue: Mooroopna War Memorial, Shepparton & District War Memorial, Goulburn Valley Libraries.
- Pink: Dookie Rail Trail, The Museum of Vehicle Evolution, Shepparton Art Museum.
- Orange: Chocolate Apple Factory, Shepparton Festival, Murchison Heritage Centre.
- Red: Shepparton Markets, Maude St Mall, Riverside Plaza.
- Yellow: Shepparton Heritage Centre, Tatura Water Tower, KidsTown Adventure Playground.
- Green: Giant Murray Cod, Mooving Art Cows, Notre Dame College.
- Dark Blue: Goulburn River, Victoria Park Lake.
