Maryborough is located on the Mary River in the Fraser Coast region of Queensland, Australia, approximately 255 kilometres north of Brisbane. The Bruce Highway is the main arterial road servicing the town.

Maryborough was Queensland’s industrial powerhouse in the final decade of the 19th century, producing naval ships, heavy castings for local sugar mills, railway locomotives and rolling stock. It was also the centre of significant agriculture, including timber milling and sugar cane growing.
The area is home to agriculture and forestry.

The Story Bank – a bank that trades in stories- is a must-see museum showcasing the incredible history of Maryborough.
