On the radio yesterday, I heard the Marysville Marathon is on this Sunday, 7th November and I'll be coming up for the day. I have been meaning to go to Marysville for some time now but either the weather wasn't good or I was baby-sitting. This Sunday however, it's all systems go. I'd really like to stay overnight for the weekend but finances being what they are, this isn't possible - I had thought I'd love to stay at the Tower Motel, and after checking the cost of accommodation I hummed and haahed before reality set in and common sense took over. So - it will be a day trip.
It will be good to see Marysville again, and I plan on seeing Steavenson Falls and visiting one of my favourite shops - Uncle Fred and Aunty Val's Lolly Shop. Perhaps some afternoon tea at the Bakery (on the corner of Murchison Street) and lunch at Fraga's, I hear their pot pies are delicious.

I'm studying the Marysville fires in my Geography class and part of the assessment is to make a hypothesis and then prove that hypothesis is true or not in a report. My hypothesis is based around the emotional impact and how significant it is.
If you wouldn't mind me asking, do you believe that the emotional turmoil following after the fire was just as significant, if even more important, than the emotional and sociological impacts?
Hello Serena,
Yes, I believe it was. Losing a loved one is often hard to overcome but being burnt to death by fire is a horrific way to lose one's life. This fire was at such a high heat, that people died from the heat, not just by the flame.
Apology for this late reply, I only saw your comment now.
Regards,
Blossom.
