In January 2024, the Marlo Fire Brigade took an innovative step by commissioning the painting of two CFA Water Tanks in the Marlo region. These water tanks have now become a significant part of the local landscape, and one of them features a stunning depiction of the abundant marine life that thrives in the area. The vibrant artwork showcases the diversity of oceanic creatures that call these pristine waters home, adding a visual celebration of the region’s rich natural environment.
Marlo, a charming and peaceful seaside town, is situated at the mouth of the Snowy River, where the river’s freshwater meets the salty embrace of the ocean. This serene location is surrounded by some of the most breathtaking and unspoiled waterways and beaches in Victoria. Among these, the Snowy Inlet stands out as a remarkable natural feature, where the Snowy River meets the sea in a unique blend of freshwater and saltwater ecosystems. It’s a place that is as picturesque as it is ecologically significant, attracting visitors with its tranquil beauty and diverse wildlife.
