Significance

A colour photograph taken of Gould Memorial Drive on the Buxton Marysville Road in Victoria.
The planting of the avenue of Lombardi Poplars was initiated by Mrs Joy Gould and the trees were planted by workers of the Gould Mill. The intention was for the avenue to extend from Marysville to Buxton. However, this was never fully realised.
In Autumn the trees turn a brilliant yellow and are a major tourist attraction.
This postcard was produced by Donovan Wilson Photography as a souvenir of Marysville.
