Visitor highlights

By Kath Gannaway
MARYSVILLE truly is a village for all seasons. It is magnificent in the warmer months of spring and into summer and autumn.
From the Yarra Valley, travel through winery country and the majestic mountain ash forests of the Black Spur, or head out through Warburton and the Cumberland Valley to discover a place of natural beauty, events and attractions for all ages.
To enjoy all the district has to offer, plan at least a weekend trip. If you can stay a week, or more, even better.
Bush walks, horse riding, forest drives, fishing, the arts, history, great eateries, interesting shops, diverse accommodation and friendly locals are just some of the reasons Marysville has retained its place as a favourite holiday spot.
Natural attractions such as Steavensons Falls, Lady Talbot Forest Drive, Lake Mountain bush walking trails and the Land of the Giants at Cambarville, make Marysville a haven for anyone looking to escape the rat race.
A phone call to Marysville Tourist Information Centre will help make the most of any visit.
Plan ahead to enjoy regular activities such as community market day which is held on the second Sunday of each month.
Or make a date with the Marysville Flower Show and Marysville Primary School Art Show scheduled for Melbourne Cup Weekend.
Christmas spirit is sparked with The Magic of Christmas, a celebration of the festive season from 17 to 19 November.
