Youngsters had the chance to walk through a sandy wonderland and build a sandman in Shepparton before Christmas.

It was all part of Greater Shepparton City Council’s Activities in the Park program in the central business district.

Among the things on show was a giant sculpture of Santa — or Sand-ta — created by a professional artist using only moulds of sand.

News photographer Megan Fisher went along to capture some of the action.
