Marysville - Gilberts Gully Nature Trail Walk
Gilberts Gully Nature Trail Walk is a favourite spot for locals and tourists to enjoy a casual walk amongst pristine Australian Bush.
After the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires devastated the area, the Department of Environment & Primary Industries (DEPI) worked hard to restore the area to its former beauty. They have done very well. Today
it is a highly rated attraction. It is also a great attraction for those looking for an easier walk.
There is no official carpark, but parking is available on the side of the street at the track-head on Barton Avenue. The walk takes around 30 minutes and features a well formed easy grade pathway. There is a seat located along the track and small bridges cross the picturesque Wilks Creek.
