Getting there
The town of Marysville is a 1 hour 45 minute drive from Melbourne.
It’s an easy relaxing drive, taking in the black spur, the Yarra Valley and more.
Best times for photography
The best season for photography is Autumn and winter. The reason is there are lines of symmetrical Poplar trees just outside of town on the Marysville Buxton road. These trees look great in Autumn with all the golden colors. If you are fortunate to have fog in the morning then the trees will look even better. Another great angle to capture is from above the trees after sunrise because they cast long shadows across the ground.
Stevenson’s falls in Marysville is also a great photography location. Just follow the signs to one of the best waterfalls in Victoria. Winter is also great in and around Marysville because it can receive snow fall.
