Maryborough - Qld




Located three hours from Brisbane Maryborough was settled in 1847 and is one of Queensland's oldest provincial cities.





Saturday morning, after a good night sleep at the hotel & before joining my sweetheart at The Brolga Theatre & Convention Center.







I was graced with the beautiful and tranquil, VERY old world Queens Park. It contains the biggest Banyan Tree i have ever seen, and is bounded on one side by a slope down to the Mary River.



















Once the lifeblood of the town, the Mary River is still a haven for pleasure craft, a source of excellent freshwater fishing and a beautiful back drop for a lovely city.
