If you enjoy fern walks
and majestic waterfalls,
water sports and fishing,
winter snow play, local
history, fine food and
wine, cosy getaways
or a relaxing camping
holiday, the spectacular
Murrindindi region has
it all.
This is Melbourne’s closest
natural playground, rich with
national parks, state forests,
Lake Eildon, Lake Mountain
and the magnificent Goulburn
River. So many incredible, aweinspiring locations right on
the city’s doorstep.
Scattered throughout these
spectacular hills and valleys
are the charming towns and
villages of Marysville, Eildon,
Yea, Alexandra, Kinglake and
surrounding districts.
But don’t just take our word
for it, come and discover
‘Dindi’ (as the locals call
it) for yourself. Our natural
wonders, welcoming towns,
legendary country hospitality,
delicious food and wine, and
vibrant events – you can
choose to do more, or less…
naturally, in Murrindindi.
