Significance

A colour photograph of the view of the mountains surrounding Marysville in Victoria from Nicholl's Lookout. The mountains surrounding Marysville are known as the Mystic Mountains and Nicoll's Lookout is 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.
