<b>Marysville (including Lake Mountain,Buxton,Taggerty,Narbethong and Cathedral Range State Park)</b><br><b>Pretty township popular as a starting point for bushwalks.</b><br>Marysville is a sub-alpine resort town of some 600 people noted for its scenic attractions,forest bushwalking and old-fashioned timber guesthouses. It is also the wintertime base for the cross-country ski fields of Lake Mountain. Marysville is beautifully located amidst tree-laden mountains at a bracing elevation,96 km north-east of Melbourne and 9 km off the Maroondah Highway. It is especially attractive when the flowers bloom in spring and the trees shed their leaves in autumn.
