Stepping back in time

MARYBOROUGH what a lovely city which was at one stage destined to be the capital city of Queensland. There are magnificently restored buildings and homes, it would have to have the most restored properties we have seen, a real credit to them. Hervey Bay 30km's away is a real contrast with modern homes and the gateway to Fraser Island.
SHIP BOLLARDS down by the river, spot the ring in. The Mary River snakes through the city, one of the few rivers at the moment with a lot of water in it, not attractive as very muddy, doubt if you would be able to spot a Mary River Turtle or lung fish. MARY POPPINS the author of the novel was raised in the area. When we got to this statue she looked a bit different as she had on a Maryborough high school shirt and skirt - we saw some others take a photo and we wonder if they didn't realise that was not how she was meant to look.
