| Mansfield information and attractions |
Situated in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, Mansfield is surrounded by grazing districts and mountain forests. The area is famous for its stunning scenery with a number of movies being filmed in the attractive mountain ranges. Mansfield is the closest major town to Australia's largest ski resort of Mount Buller and the largely undeveloped resort of Mount Stirling. Within a short drive of Mansfield are natural attractions such as Lake Nillahcootie to the north and Lake Eildon with its surrounding national park. The town of Mansfield itself has a number of historical buildings, dating back to its days as a stock route camp and gold mining service centre in the mid 1800s. These days, Mansfield is very much a tourist town featuring a wide range of accommodation and a large commercial centre which caters for the many visitors who journey up to Mount Buller or Mount Stirling via Merrijig. Access to Lake Eildon from Mansfield is available 20 kilometres west of the town at Brankeet Inlet near Bonnie Doon. Alternatively, several small communities are situated on the shores of the lake south of Mansfield at Howes Creek, Goughs Bay and Macs Cove. |
