The man who rediscovered Victoria’s faunal emblem,the Leadbeater’s possum,60 years ago now fears he may live to see it go extinct for real.
On February 7,2009,a powerline fault in north-eastern Victoria sparked a devastating blaze that engulfed townships and left 119 people dead in hours. Here is how it happened.
Marysville is just an hour and a half's drive from Melbourne but feels more remote.
'There will be lots of yoga,Mother Nature,and taking you outside your daily routine in a positive inspiring environment.'
Marysville was decimated by the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires,but has regenerated while maintaining its charm.
However you like your hotels,the upcoming year is sure to please,with architectural acrobatics,spectacular renovations and innovative technologies colluding to produce some fantastic new accommodation offerings.
Six years on,Marysville is rising from the ashes.
