Marysville

Rebuilt & Resilient

95km from MelbournePop. 500

Marysville is a picturesque mountain town that has been beautifully rebuilt after the devastating 2009 bushfires, demonstrating remarkable community resilience and determination. Known for its stunning waterfalls, particularly Steavenson Falls at 84 metres - Victoria's tallest tiered waterfall - the town is a gateway to the Lake Mountain Alpine Resort and offers excellent cafes, galleries, and nature experiences. The rebuilt township features contemporary architecture that blends seamlessly with the surrounding mountain forests, housing award-winning cafes, artisan galleries, and cozy accommodation options. Bruno's Art & Sculpture Garden provides a unique outdoor experience with sculptures scattered throughout native gardens. In winter, visitors flock to nearby Lake Mountain for cross-country skiing, tobogganing, and snow play, while summer brings bushwalkers exploring the network of trails through ancient mountain ash forests. The nightly illumination of Steavenson Falls creates a magical spectacle that draws visitors from across Victoria. The community's spirit of renewal makes Marysville not just a destination, but an inspiring story of recovery and hope.
