Marysville, Victoria

Nestled in the foothills of Melbourne's closest ski fields, and surrounded by waterfalls, Marysville is well known as a gateway to year-round outdoor activities. Marysville was established in 1863 as a stopover for diggers on the way to nearby goldfields. Make your way to Lake Mountain for winter cross country skiing or family fun in the snow. In spring and summer wander local walking trails through wildflowers. Marysville is 96 kilometres east of Melbourne. The two hour drive along the Maroondah Highway winds through Black Spur to the turn off at Narbethong. Mountain ash forests in the region, and the Marysville community itself, are experiencing a period of regrowth and regeneration, subsequent to the 2009 Victorian bushfires. Visit the Marysville region and be a positive part of its regeneration. Wrap up and head outdoors for snow play or a scenic walk – or snuggle up indoors for locally-made, winter warming foods. Many businesses in the Marysville region are open and ready to welcome you.
