Marysville
- Marysville was established in 1863 as a stopover for diggers on the way to the nearby Woods Point goldfields. Today, the town is well known for its beautiful gardens and scenery, and as a gateway to year-round outdoor activities. The town streets are a riot of colour in spring, when cottage gardens come alive with blossoms of dogwood, azaleas and rhododendrons. The wonderful avenue of century-old oak trees in the main street form a cooling canopy in summer, and a golden display in autumn. Nestled in the valley beside Melbourne’s closest ski fields, scenic Marysville is surrounded by waterfalls and tall forests of mountain ash. How to get there Marysville is 96 kilometres east of Melbourne. The two-hour drive along the Maroondah Highway winds through the fBlack Spur to the turn off at Narbethong.
