Marysville (Victoria)

Introduction

Marysville was established in 1863 as a stopover for diggers on the way to the nearby Woods Point goldfields.

In February of 2009, Marysville was one of most severely affected towns in the Black Saturday bushfires, the worst in Australia's history. The town is in the process of rebuilding.
