The Anzac walk and museum is worth it. Bloody marvellous but allow more time than you might think. Mary poppins Story Bank, too tired to do it and felt ripped off. Next time! It's worth the visit but my goodness the food is aweful. Even Domino's pizza was inedible and looked like it was randomly chopped with a cleaver! Cannot recall being unable to find well cooked food anywhere else. The cuisine is frankly sadly bloody appalling.

While we did not have the time to visit properly there was so much information at our Motel, there are incredible amount of sightseeing opportunities. One of the most advertised is the Golden dunny(Cistern Chapel), however there are some other great historical and informative walks and tours in the same area. Easily a full day for active sightseers but easily 2 or 3 days to plan, visit and appreciate what the area has to offer, amazing.

There are quite a few things to do in and around maryborough. Stay clear of The local shopping centres as thats where the riff raff of the town congregate. And there unfortunately is a lot of riff raff. But generally beautiful old homes and buildings. A number of shops for lease, though it was not long ago that the town experienced multiple flooding events so considering this, I think the town is doing very well. I plan on visiting again for longer so that I can spend more time exploring the surroundings.

If you are a history buff it is well worth walking around the city to find lots of old buildings, the war museum is well worth a visit but allow at least 2 hours to see it and the river walk is beautiful. We were there for the Mary Poppins Festival so the Story Bank Museum for her is a must.

Lovely country town with buildings going back more than 140 years. A lot old country style pub/hotels and shop buildings which in their peak made this a very busy town. Beautiful gardens next to the old Court House of an era which this town has seen halcyon times of past. Local people are friendly and quite a few living in the area that have been affected by the recent floods and quite happy to talk about it in a non-melancholy philosophical way. Many were devastated by the recent floods but they are resilient and stay on in this town. If you would like to see late 19-early 20 century buildings go to Maryborough. If you are of the baby-boomer generation in Brisbane, where I am from, it brings back memories.

A great tourist information centre that ran a free walking tour. There was a lot of history to follow such as the city's development, the wall murals and the Gallipoli to Armistice Memorial walk, A novelty was visiting the cistern chapel (highly decorated facilities).
