For this little adventure our first stop was at the Maryborough Showgrounds we have stayed here before but this time we decided to actually have a look around. I wanted to see what all the hype is about with the City’s connection to Mary Poppins☂️. We have driven through the edges of Maryborough a few times but never actually stopped and explored.
But more than that Maryborough is a historical town with heritage buildings, memorials and museums that tell the story of the town that was once one of Australia’s largest earlier ports. For our visit we decided to first stop in at the Visitors Information Centre where we met a very knowledgeable gentleman who gave us the rundown of what to do and see in and around town.

If you’re a military buff 🪖 you can delve into the Fraser Coast’s rich military history at the wonderful Gallipoli to Armistice Memorial in Queens Park. Even if you aren’t this was absolutely wonderful and to think that much of the area of the park and surrounding streets were flooded earlier this year. Wow. The memorial features a sculpture of Lieutenant Duncan Chapman – the first Australian ashore at Gallipoli. A walk through the memorial is filled with audio and visual stories of the many men and women from Maryborough who served at war for Australia.
