Located just three hours' drive from Brisbane, Maryborough was a major immigration port in Austraila, and the city centre - in particular, the Wharf Street Prencinct, is filled with the remnants of the city's colourful psat.

Visit on a Thursday and wander through the Maryborough Histroic Markets in the CBD. The historic time cannon is fired at 1.00pm. For another taste of the city's history, ride the Mary Ann, a replica steam engine.
