Marysville Information
Marysville is well known for its beautiful gardens and scenery, and as a gateway to year-round outdoor activities. Nestled in the foothills of Melbourne’s closest ski fields, scenic Marysville is surrounded by waterfalls and tall forests of mountain ash.
Marysville was established in 1863 as a stopover for diggers on the way to the nearby Woods Point goldfields. Today, 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 forms 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.
Visit Steavenson Falls, which at 82 metres is one of the highest waterfalls in Victoria. It is a magnificent sight by day and floodlit at night. Drive along Lady Talbot Drive through magnificent eucalypt forest. Stop for a picnic lunch, a short rainforest walk and to see waterfalls and panoramic views along the way. Explore the Cumberland Memorial Scenic Reserve and the stand of old growth mountain ash, one of the tallest tree species in the world. Along the Cumberland walk discover spectacular and intriguing features such as the Big Tree, the tallest living tree known in Victoria.
Make your way to Lake Mountain for winter time cross country skiing or family fun in the snow, or to wander through wildflowers along walking trails in spring and summer.
Popular local events include the Marysville Community Market on the second Sunday of every month and the Marysville Wirreanda Festival in March.
Marysville is 96 kilometres east of Melbourne. The two hour drive along the Maroondah Highway winds through the scenic Black Spur to the turn off at Narbethong.
