Marysville Theatre Murchison Street, Marysville, VIC

The former Marysville Theatre, along with most of the town, was destroyed in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. Prior to the fires, Marysville experienced a prolonged period of extreme heat, with temperatures reaching between 43 and 48 degrees Celsius.

The town has a close-knit community, with fourth-generation residents and a strong sense of local identity. There is a fierce determination to rebuild Marysville and return it to a place where guesthouses and homes with beautiful gardens, reminiscent of a quaint English village can flourish once more in the Australian bush, and perhaps in time, a new cinema will be built to carry on the legacy of the Wallace family.

This writer would like to thank Marysville & District Historical Society for access to the various photos & text that appear on this web-site through Victorian Collections.
