Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Shepparton’s native bushland through a unique Sensory Safari. This creative endeavour, known as nature journaling, is a journey that anyone can undertake, regardless of artistic ability.

The journey into nature journaling can begin anywhere, but a great starting point is a mindful stroll, like the one along the western start of the Boulevard Bush Reserve gravel walking track in Shepparton. Here, you can engage all your senses to fully absorb your surroundings, from the rustle of leaves underfoot to the sweet, earthy scent of the bush.

Only a short 150-200m walk, enclosed footwear, a hat, and a drink bottle are all you need to embark on this sensory adventure.

The beauty of nature journaling is its universality. Whether you’re in a local park, a distant forest, or your own backyard, you can immerse yourself in the sensory richness of your environment and capture it in your journal.

The experience culminates in a quiet moment of reflection, where you sit to journal your sensory impressions. So, why not take the leap and start your own nature journaling journey in Shepparton’s beautiful bushland?
