The Goulburn Valley has a new tourist attraction
A sculpture of a Giant Murray Cod has been constructed at the entrance to the Arcadia Fish Hatchery (locals, you probably didn't even know the fish hatchery existed. Am I right?)
Well in 2024, Victorian Fisheries Authority embarked on an ambitious project to transform the entrance of the Arcadia Native Fish Hatchery (near Shepparton in Victoria) into a landmark destination. Their vision? A 16-metre-long giant Murray cod sculpture as a striking centrepiece, attracting attention to the visitor centre and reflecting the significance of this iconic fish species.
The Giant Murray Cod is now one of Australia’s newest Big Things. Blending artistry with environmental education, the giant Murray cod is a unique, memorable symbol for the fish hatchery.

The Cache
Is located near the Murray Cod. It is not on the Murray Cod. You are looking for a micro bison containing log only so BYO writing implement.
And while you're here, there are information boards about the fish hatchery, a playground, bbqs and toilets so bring the kids!!!
