Queens Park No visit to Maryborough is complete without a pleasant stroll in Queens Park. Located beside the Mary River it was where barristers and judges used to alight to walk to the Court House. The park has been Heritage Listed and with its distinctive and huge banyan tree (planted in 1900), elegant band rotunda, lily pond, waterfall and views across the Mary River it is a reminder of the charm and elegance of the city.

Bond Store Port of Maryborough Located on Wharf Street, the Bond Store Port of Maryborough is constructed on a sandstone base and was built in three stages - in 1864, 1870 and 1883. It was built to provide storage for goods which attracted customs taxes and consequently has seen stocks of opium, rum, wine, beer, cigars and tobacco all stored inside its walls. "Today the Bond Store has been reinvented as a store for regional produce and houses fascinating displays and artefacts documenting Maryborough's Portside history. You can sample a range of delicious regional ports and liqueurs in the authentic surrounds of the Bond Store. A small provedore on site provides a range of regional produce and products for sale."

Firing of the Historic Time Cannon One of the city's true novelties, the Time Gun is fired twice every Thursday. It was so loud that it was estimated it could be heard 30 km away. The gun was given to the city from the Premier of Queensland, John Douglas. It was found on the Torres Strait island of Mobiag and was most likely used by the vessels of the Dutch East India Company during the seventeenth century. It was presented as a response to the criticism that the town had no clock. The gun was first fired on 21 March 1878 but ceased in 1879 because of the cost of the powder. Today it is fired every Thursday at 11.00 am at the Customs House Residence Lawn and at 1.00 pm at the Maryborough City Hall.

* Prior to the arrival of Europeans the area was the home of the Badtjala First Nation people who occupied the coastal hinterland and Fraser Island. * The first Europeans to pass up the coast near Maryborough were Captain James Cook in 1770 and Matthew Flinders in 1802. * In 1842 the explorer Andrew Petrie sailed up the coast from Moreton Bay in a whaleboat. His brief was to investigate the economic potential of the harbour which lay behind Fraser Island. He was looking for exploitable stands of bunya trees. Petrie travelled nearly 80 km up the Mary River and, although he did not find the bunya trees, one of his crew, Henry Stuart Russell, in his Genesis of Queensland which was published in 1889, declared after the journey that he had "seen what looks like a first-rate harbour, and a river in which I yet hope, if I can but find fit country on or near it, goodbye to drays, bullocks, Cunningham's Gap and hells holes - hoorah! for immediate water carriage for wool." * By the 1840s the district had been settled and in July 1847 the government surveyor, J. C. Burnett, surveyed the river, declaring that it was "an eligible position for the establishment of a town as parties will no doubt settle there as soon as there is prospect of trade". At the time the river was known as Wide Bay to Europeans and variously as Booie, Numabulla, Mooraboocoola or Moonaboola to the Badtjala Aborigines. * In September 1847 George Furber built a store, a house and a jetty at Wide Bay and by December he had shipped his first load of 65 bales of wool. * As early as 1848 two businessmen, Aldridge and Palmer, set up their business on the opposite bank of the river and were offering easier access to the port. Their superior location dominated and Furber was forced to move across the river. * The settlement was officially named Maryborough on 23 January, 1849. * By 1849 over 1000 bales of wool were being shipped out and hotels, stores and shops had sprung up and the new town was booming. * In 1850 Surveyor Labatt recommended a site further east of the original site, a government wharf was built and the whole town moved. * The original Maryborough site, located between the Bruce Highway (at the Gympie end of town) and the Mary River, was abandoned by 1856. * In 1861 Maryborough was officially proclaimed a municipality. It was around this time that cotton was grown in the area. * In 1865 the Maryborough Sugar Company was established. * In 1867 gold was discovered at Gympie and Maryborough became a major port for prospectors travelling to the fields. * In 1869 the town's elegant post office was built. * Many significant buildings were constructed in the late 1870s and 1880s including: Maryborough Court House (1877), Bank of New South Wales (1877), St Paul's Church of England (1879), Maryborough Railway Station (1880), Maryborough Boys Grammar School (1881), Criterion Hotel (1883), Maryborough Mortuary Chapel (1884), Maryborough Base Hospital (1888), and the Maryborough School of Arts (1888). * In 1899 Helen Lyndon Goff, who took the name P.L. Travers when she became an author, was born at the Australian Joint Stock Bank (her father was the manager). She went on to write the famous Mary Poppins stories. * Maryborough was declared a City in 1905.

You are about to travel back in history, to a time when everything was slower, a time when everybody living along the Mary River saw life through the prism of the River, a time when the Mary Valley railway line was a very important part of their community. But long before the Mary Valley Rattler steamed out of the fog to make such an impact on their lives the Valley people battled rough terrain, fire, and if you know Gympie like we know Gympie, floods in their comings and goings to town. From the very early days of the Mary Valley settlements there were noises and agitations being made about a railway, after all, plans for the Maryborough to Gympie line began in the late 1860’s. And these were very loud, after all, everyone wanted a railway to connect them to the outside world. There was no railway connection between Brisbane and Gympie until 1891. What was called the “Maryborough railway” had its beginning as a result of the discovery of GOLD, by James Nash, at Gympie in 1867. It was to be most important. The effort, time and cost of transport of both materials and equipment to the area and, of course, the gold to be shipped out, was indeed very high. Step by step arrangements were being made to connect the nearest port to Gympie to allow export of the fruits of their labour…… That port was Maryborough. Both Brisbane and Maryborough fought long and hard to be the major port for Gympie to export the gold and the produce from the valley. After nearly a decade of political battling Maryborough won. So the first railway to link Gympie to a port was to be very much a “Mary River line”. The line from Maryborough to Gympie was completed early August 1881. By this time the broader Gympie Region and the Mary Valley continued to develop especially in agriculture, dairying, and timber. To provide transport the Mary Valley line was built from Gympie to Brooloo. The Rattler served the valley well but even in 1970 noises were being heard that the railway was being reviewed as to its viability. The final blow came in 1993 when it was announced the Gympie Station would no longer function in that capacity. The last train arrived in Gympie from the valley in mid 1995. A new railway line was built to bypass Gympie in 1989. The Mary Valley railway entered a new era, the time had come to showcase the beautiful Mary Valley and what better way could it be done than being viewed from the carriages of the original Rattler. As the line itself was not closed it allowed an organisation known as the Mary Valley Heritage Railway to operate as a Tourist Steam Train service. Forming In 1996 the organisation became custodians of the line. On May 23rd 1998 the Mary Valley again welcomed the Rattler which carried upwards of 33,000 guests annually. The Heritage railway continued on until late 2012 when the Rail Regulator suspended operations.

Our dolphin visitors Snapper Creek - Tin Can Bay is home to the Australian Humpback Dolphin. We have a resident pod of 9 Humbacks led by the Alpha Male, Mystique - the rest of his pod consists of Patch, Ella, Squirt, Harmony, Aussie, Valentine, Chompy and White Fin. The Humpback is a river & esturine dolphin requiring 18-20 mtrs of water to fish and shallow tidal creek areas where you see them basking in the sun. Their diet consists of squid, fish & crustaceans. What to expect The Dolphin Centre opens at 7.00am with viewing time between 7.00 - 8.00am. There is only one feeding session per day commencing at 8.00am. On arrival visitors are welcome to join the volunteers in the water and get to know these beautiful mammals with a small group of people in the water at any one time. Fish for the feeding is available on site. We have a feeding fee of $10 per person to cover the cost of each fish purchased and our other costs. Dolphin feeding does mean getting wet, at least up to your knees...so come prepared! Once the dolphins are fed they generally return straight to the wild to get on with their day so be sure to be there before 8.00am to give yourself the best chance of enjoying this wonderful experience. Of course, these animals are wild so we cannot guarantee their arrival time or even that there will be dolphins on a given day. However, patience is often rewarded when they are late so order some refreshments from the cafe, sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery. It is rare for no dolphins to visit but as with all wildlife experiences it can happen. Most of all enjoy yourselves and don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our beautiful dolphins and the spectacular Cooloola region.
