Parks Victoria (in conjunction with the Department of Sustainability and Environment) have just released the new Marysville Trails brochure. Open Spaces was commissioned to write the text. Following the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009 pretty much all of the walking trail infrastructure in and around Marysville was wiped out. Parks Victoria and DSE have done an enormous amount of work since the fires and all of the walking trails are now open. The brochure describes 7 walks in the immediate Marysville area (Marysville Forest Trails), 4 walks along Lady Talbot Drive (Lady Talbot Trails) and 2 walks in Cambarville (Cambarville Trails). The brochure has clear maps and is colourfully illustrated. The free Marysville Trails brochure is available from Parks Victoria (ph 13 1963), and from the Visitor Information Centres in Healesville and Marysville.
It’s worth noting that many of the tracks are still closed. Walkers should seek advice from Parks Victoria and/or DSE before making the trip.
Cheers
Neil
