Tiny Tranquility by Tiny Away offers a cozy escape in Youanmite, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it spot 30 minutes from Shepparton and two hours from Bendigo. This area, once a hub with its own schools, churches, and post office, now stands as an attractive rural Australia's getaway. The landscape tells tales of grain fields and grazing cattle, reflecting its agricultural roots.
Staying in this holiday home means immersing yourself in a place where history whispers through the open fields and the night sky is covered by an array of stars. It's a chance to experience the raw, unfiltered essence of the Australian countryside.
Our local recommendations:
- Cactus Country: Step into a surreal desert landscape with thousands of cacti worldwide. Wander through themed trails, snap photos, and try cactus ice cream or margaritas for a truly out-of-the-ordinary experience.
- Shepparton Museum: Look into the region’s past at this museum, featuring Indigenous heritage, dairy industry history, and the iconic Furphy water cart. The collection tells the story of Shepparton’s transformation from farmland to a thriving town.
- Murray River: Australia’s longest river carves through the landscape. It offers sandy riverbanks, towering red gums, and endless fishing, kayaking, and camping spots. Houseboats and paddle steamers keep the old river life alive.
- Ulupna Island: A hidden pocket of nature where kangaroos and koalas outnumber people. This section of the Barmah National Park offers secluded river beaches, peaceful bushwalking, and a chance to disconnect from the modern world.
- Kennedy Park Thompson's Beach: Located a few minutes from Cobram's center, this area boasts Australia's largest inland beach along the Murray River. Towering river red gums, a white sandy beach, and evening floodlights make it the perfect spot to relax and hang out.
