Maryborough - Fast Facts

Maryborough
Gracious and attractive city on the Mary River.
Maryborough calls itself 'Heritage City' and while it doesn't compare in grandeur and graciousness to Queensland's two premier 'Heritage Cities' - Rockhampton and Charters Towers - it can claim to predate them both by some decades. The city does have a large number of beautiful buildings and the original Maryborough site - now nothing more than a series of plaques set in lush tropical surroundings - is a model of how to recreate imaginatively a bygone era.

Located 264 km north of Brisbane on the Mary River, Maryborough is a city with an economy based on servicing the surrounding sugar, grazing and timber industries and catering for the hundreds of thousands of tourists who pass through the area each year.
