Maryborough is the historical and cultural heart of the Fraser
Coast. Just over three hours drive north from Brisbane;
Maryborough is nestled in a curve of the Mary River.
The city's original Queenslander homes grace the broad tree-lined streets and will fascinate history buffs. For those interested in heritage, the city's heritage walk is a two-hour delight. If time's on your side, visit Elizabeth Park and smell the roses or feed the Black Swans at Ululah Lagoon.
A great time to visit Maryborough is from August
to October. At this time, not only
can you enjoy the simple delights of Maryborough, but a short drive to the nearby
coastal town of Hervey Bay and you're in for one
of nature's truly enchanting experiences - the migration of the humpback whales.
You will discover the whales frolicking in the sheltered waters between World
Heritage Fraser Island and Hervey
Bay.
