Maryborough

The landscape around Maryborough is a low-lying river plain beside the Mary River, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. Founded as a port in the 19th century, the Queensland town retains an unusually substantial collection of colonial-era civic and commercial buildings, particularly around Wharf Street and Kent Street. Its riverfront once handled trade and passengers bound for the nearby Gympie goldfields. Maryborough is also the birthplace of author P. L. Travers, creator of Mary Poppins, a connection celebrated through public art and the annual Mary Poppins Festival. The city sits within the Fraser Coast region, between the hinterland and the coast.
