Historical information

An early black and white photograph of the view of Marysville taken from Nicholl's Lookout.

Significance

An early black and white photograph of the view of Marysville taken from Nicholl's Lookout. Nicholl's Lookout is situated on the Marysville-Wood's Point Road. The Marysville-Woods Point Road was originally part of the Yarra Track, constructed in the early 1860s to provide access between Healesville and the Woods Point Goldfields. Despite the steep terrain and engineering difficulties, the Yarra Track soon became a busy route used by pack horses, horse-drawn drays, and wagons. Today this sealed mountain road is a popular scenic drive between Marysville and Warburton. This photograph was produced by Murray Views in Gympie, Queensland as a souvenir of Marysville.
