SCENIC DRIVES AND LOOKOUTS AWAIT 🚗🌅

Wondering how you can support our region to recover? While some parts of Murrindindi Shire have been devasted by the recent fires, most of our visitor attractions and experiences (including those featured in this video) haven’t been impacted. Our businesses are open and ready to welcome you!

Murrindindi, or Dindi as the locals like to call it, is renowned for breathtaking scenic drives and lookouts, each offering a unique perspective on the region’s diverse landscapes. Touring Dindi is the perfect way to explore this spectacular part of @seehighcountry.

Drive up and over the Great Divide, wind through lush rainforests, stop off in charming towns and villages while admiring spectacular views. Journey through the majestic Black Spur or wind your way down the Murchison Gap with views of the Valley of a Thousand Hills. Take in the awe-inspiring views of the rolling hills, pristine lakes and mountain ranges. Capture the perfect moment with bucket-list worthy sunrise and sunset locations.

Break up the journey with a meal along the way at a local bakery, cafe or historic country pub. Enjoy a tipple at a winery, brewery or distillery, scattered throughout the region, or pick up supplies at a local market or produce store.

Gather the family for a daytrip to remember. Better still pack the car for a romantic weekend away or a mid-week staycation with mates choosing from the many accommodation options on offer.

Every visit to our region will go a long way to helping businesses get back on their feet.

Marysville is a nature lovers paradise with so many amazing walks and waterfalls close to town, incredible lookouts, delicious food and a range of places to stay! Looking for inspiration to plan your visit? Here’s some of our top picks:

💦 Visit the iconic #SteavensonFalls, or one of the lesser known but equally worthwhile falls and cascades nearby.

🚵‍♀️ Hit the bike trails, with plenty of road cycling, gravel riding and mountain biking on offer, including the epic Cascades Trail from #LakeMountain to #Marysville.

🚗 Take a scenic drive through the #BlackSpur and hike or drive to #KeppelLookout with spectacular views across Marysville, Cathedral Range State Park and the Acheron Valley.

🛝 Cool off in the river or take a dip at the local pool, spend some time with the kids at the state-of-the-art playground and refuel at one of the cafés, pubs and shops.

🥾Explore the extensive trail network on foot, with easily accessible trails like the Beauty Spot Nature Trail and more challenging options suitable for experienced hikers, like the Razorback Loop at the Cathedral Ranges in nearby Taggerty.

🥰 Every visit to our region helps businesses get back on their feet, following the impacts of the recent bushfires.

Not a bad way to watch the sun go down .. Lake Eildon in summer is a true beauty 🤭

A peaceful sunset on the water, surrounded by Lake Eildon National Park after spending the day swimming, fishing or boating on the lake... what more could you want?! 😍

You can hire a house boat from @watersedgehouseboathire, kick up your feet and relax on the deck with family and friends, or even throw the rod in for a fish!

OR if that's not your thing, rent some stand up paddle boards or kayaks from @jerusalemcreek and spend the day paddling on the lake!
