History
Marysville Victoria
The town of Marysville and its surrounding areas have a long history as a tourist destination. The opening of the Yarra Track, which provided a shortcut to the Jordan Goldfields, attracted visitors to the area who were drawn to the natural beauty of Marysville. In the 1920s, larger guesthouses were built to accommodate the influx of tourists, and Marysville became a popular honeymoon destination. Today, Marysville continues to thrive as a holiday destination, offering a range of activities and attractions for visitors to enjoy.

February 7th 2009
On Black Saturday, February 7th, 2009, the devastating bushfires reduced Ellimatta to a pile of rubble, causing insurmountable loss and devastation. Despite this, Ellimatta was rebuilt, incorporating a design similar to the original property. The bathtub and mirror in the entranceway are both salvaged from the original Ellimatta home, serving as a reminder of the property's rich history and resilience.
