Maryborough Travel Guide
Maryborough accommodation, Maryborough activities and attractions, Maryborough maps, transportation to and around Maryborough - the ALL NEW Jasons Maryborough Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Maryborough.
Settled in 1847, Maryborough is one of
Queensland’s oldest cities and once one of
Australia's largest and busiest ports. It has a rich and fascinating history, but what really sets Maryborough apart is that much of its heritage remains – just waiting to be uncovered. Visitors can take the opportunity to be part of this living history – marvel at the beautiful old homes and stately buildings, enjoy a drink or two at a century-old pub, meet colourful ambassadors in period costume and brave spine-tingling tours of the city’s historic sites. A ‘must’ for visitors and locals alike is the famous weekly market.
Only a short drive from Maryborough is the boating and fishing paradise of the Great Sandy Strait and one of the most unique islands in the world,
Fraser Island. Easily accessible from
Brisbane with a glorious climate all year, Maryborough is also the perfect spot from which to explore beaches, national parks, rainforests and the rural charm of the South Burnett. The agriculturally rich hinterland is noted for the numerous wineries and freshwater fishing.
