Venture into the alpine air at any time of the year and discover for yourself why this region has the ability to amaze and delight. Rich fertile valleys, crystal clear rivers and majestic mountain streams combine to provide a holiday destination of unequalled pleasure.

Passing through the Yarra Valley wind down the windows and savour the unmistakable fragrance of the Australian bush as you pass through forests of towering Mountain Ash and luxuriant tree ferns on the way up and over the famous Black Spur.

Discover the tranquil village of Marysville, where you can unwind in the timelessness of a village set amongst ancient mountain ranges, tall trees, open gardens and magnificent cascading waterfalls. Here you can stock up on picnic needs and secure your accommodation from the huge variety available from grand guest houses, to motels, B&BS, self contained cottages and houses.

Explore the diversity of the village, the plentiful eating places, to Bruno's Art and Sculpture Garden, visit Marysville's best-known waterfall, the majestic 830metre Steavenson Falls (flood lit at night), or picnic among magnificent centuries-old Mountain Ash, including some of the tallest trees in Australia. If fishing is a past-time you love then you will have to visit one of the local trout and salmon farms where 85% of Australia's trout is grown, you catch your own, or buy delicious smoked trout to take home.

Explore the unique sub alpine nature as you walk through the Yarra Ranges National Park that surrounds Marysville, follow the meandering courses of the Taggerty River, view the many waterfalls or be entranced by the ancient beauty of the rain forest.
