Marysville Tourism
Marysville Tourism

From the top of Black's Spur at Dom Dom Saddle the majesty and beauty of the Mystic Mountains unfolds with spectacular views across the Acheron Valley to the peaks of Lake Mountain and The Cathedral. With the discovery of gold at Enoch's point in 1857 and subsequent discoveries at Woods Point and Jamieson, the population of the area is reported to have reached 6000 miners by 1861. By this time it was clear to the government that improved access to "the fields" was vital to allow the transport of modern machinery required for effective mining. Numerous surveying teams conceived plans for access tracks, most of which led from the gold mining settlements, one even as far a field as Sale in Gippsland. In 1864 the recently appointed Assistant Commissioner of Roads and Bridges, Mr John Steavenson moved into the area to oversee the work of his surveyors. They had chosen a route over the Blacks Spur similar to the road that winds across the Great Dividing Range today. With his new bride Mary, Mr Steavenson settled in to" the camp", which was soon to become known as Marysville in honour of his wife.
