Start your four day Fraser Coast adventure in the historical town of Maryborough on Queensland’s Fraser Coast. The streetscapes of Maryborough’s original wharf district, Portside, remain relatively unchanged from its days as a thriving river port, when it was one of Australia’s largest and busiest destinations for immigrants in the mid to late 1800s. Start your Portside experience with a Portside Heritage Gateway Pass, which includes entry into Customs House Interpretive Centre. Continue soaking up the stories of Maryborough’s rich past by stopping in at many iconic attractions including the Duncan Chapman statue in Queens Park, an ode to the Maryborough local who was the first ANZAC soldier to set foot on Anzac Cove in Gallipoli in 1915. If you are wanting to delve further into the strong military ties within this community, head to the Maryborough Military Museum in Wharf St. You can also further explore the Portside precinct by stepping up back in time at the Bondstore Museum and Brennan and Geraughty’s store or for those arts lovers, a visit to Gatakers Artspace is a must. Check into your accommodation for the night in Maryborough, where there a number of options to suit any of your needs.
