Significance

A digital copy of a colour photograph of Gould Memorial Drive which is on Marysville-Buxton Road just outside Marysville 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.
