You can go healesville -> black spur -> kinglake -> lake mountain -> warburton -> up mt donna buang and back, then home
That is fairly epic and good fun.

If you want some good "burnt bushland" photos, go all the way to lake mountain and take some photos on the way up where it's snowing like this:

About 50 kays from Marysville but it's about the only place on the road from there, All the ski hire at the moment is in Marysville because the Hire part of the Lake Mountain resort caught fire a few weeks back.
