About Us
After the tragic events of the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires the shires of Murrindindi and Mitchell in regional Victoria were amongst some of the hardest hit. However, the regions are rebuilding and want the tourists to return.
Thanks to an historic agreement between Tourism Victoria, in conjunction with the Federal and State governments, special funding has been allocated to these regions – to form a new cooperative marketing body - the Murrindindi Mitchell Bushfire Tourism Recovery Group (MMBTRG).
“The horrific Black Saturday Bushfires have had a devastating impact on tourism and we want to look to the future now and to send out a positive message to Australians”, said Chairman – Mark Challis.
The Shire of Murrindindi is located North East of Melbourne and encompasses the townships and villages of Alexandra, Buxton, Eildon, Flowerdale, Highlands, Kinglake, Lake Mountain, Marysville, Narbethong, Strath Creek, Taggerty, Thorton, Toolangi, Yea and Yarck.
Mitchell Shire is located less than one hour north of Melbourne in the heart of Victoria and incorporates the townships of Wallan, Kilmore, Broadford, Beveridge, Wandong, Heathcote Junction, Pyalong, Tallarook, Seymour, Puckapunyal and Tooborac.
