Places To Visit

Discover Maryborough, the heart of the Fraser Coast Region…

At one time a rival to Brisbane as the site of the state capital, Maryborough has some of Queensland's finest heritage architecture. The city lies along the banks of the Mary River, overlooked by the heritage Portside precinct around Wharf Street.

Today, Maryborough is widely recognised for the abundant examples of colonial and Queenslander architecture, majestic public buildings and beautiful parks and gardens.

Maryborough is the perfect base to watch the whales play in Hervey Bay, tour Fraser Island, explore the tranquil waters and charming little fishing villages of the Great Sandy Strait and discover the rainforests and charming rural retreats of the South Burnett.
