Hotels near Maryborough Airport - MBH, Maryborough

Maryborough is a good place to stop on you trip if travelling through the are. Access to main highway is easy and city has all the amenities. Only issue we had was trying to get take away Chinese food - one hour wait time at all restaurants.

I knew almost nothing about Maryborough. I found it quite an interesting town. I thought I'd just walk around it in the evening and for perhaps an hour in the morning, but I didn't leave town until midday, and this was without visiting any of the museums or other tourist attractions that were open in the town centre, apart from a quick tour of the Cistern Chapel. And this was on a Sunday! Apparently it's got a reputation for being one of the best places in Australia for militaria. It also has the Story Bank which is inspired by being the birthplace of P. L. Travers, the author of Mary Poppins. And some of the pedestrian crossings have Mary Poppins inspired walk and don't walk symbols.

So much interesting history, the woman who wrote Mary Poppins was born in Maryborough. Such an interesting town, so much historical significance for Queensland a great place to visit and if my circumstances were different, I’d actually consider moving and living in Maryborough.

Even with the rain falling nearly the entire time we were in Maryborough, the town’s charm still shone through. From its beautifully preserved heritage buildings to the friendly locals and relaxed pace, there’s a quiet magic to the place that no amount of rain can wash away. The streets were peaceful, the cafes warm and welcoming, and there’s something oddly soothing about watching the historic town glisten in the rain. Fittingly, the skies cleared on the day we left, revealing just how stunningly beautiful Maryborough truly is. We’ll definitely be back—hopefully with a little more sunshine next time!

There is a lot to see in Maryborough. Be there for Thursday morning and go to the Market in Adelaide St. Good quality and well priced produce. Stock up on Honey. Many Heritage Buildings and Museums to visit.

So much history in Maryborough. The military museum is one of the best in Australia. The Gallipoli trail is a must. The river is lovely and the town is peaceful but has everything you want for a few days to see all the history.
