MARYSVILLE
& SURROUNDS
U KNOW
Marysville was
established in 1864
as a stopping point for
diggers travelling along
the Yarra Track on their
way to the riches of the
goldfields.
Marysville Village offers a
fabulous selection of cafés,
art galleries, gift shops, day
spas and accommodation
options, and is a great base
from which to explore the
surrounding region.

A short drive away are the
villages of Narbethong and
Buxton with many scenic
fishing spots, horse riding
trails and bush walks. At
Buxton, see the ‘Meeting
of the Waters’ where three
mountain rivers come
together. Further north
you’ll find Taggerty and
Acheron, whose skylines are
dominated by the distinctive
Cathedral Ranges.
So many breathtaking
views, uncrowded places,
peace and quiet. And did we
mention all this is only 90
minutes from Melbourne?
MUST DO
Marysville and surrounds
is the ideal location for
lovers of nature, adventure
and outdoor activities from adrenaline charged
mountain biking and snow
sports to more leisurely
hiking and bushwalking
pursuits.
Venture into one of the many
state and national parks and
discover waterfalls, scenic
lookouts, historic bridges,
fern gullies and magnificent
mountain ash and eucalypt
forests.
Far, far away…is closer
than you think.

Timber cutters realised
the potential in the great
forests and, until recent
years, timber milling was a
key industry in the region.
Our giant trees were known
as the ‘Tallest Trees in the
British Empire’.

NATURAL WONDERS
Marysville is nestled in
a picturesque valley just
below Melbourne’s closest
snow field and all seasons
resort at Lake Mountain.
It’s surrounded by waterfalls, mountain streams
and lush green forests
and an easily accessible
network of spectacular
walks and trails.
Visitors passing through
were attracted to the natural
beauty of the region and
soon small guesthouses
began to appear and by the
1920s Marysville had become
a popular holiday and
honeymoon destination.
