Nestled in the heart of the Victorian Goldfields, Maryborough offers a rich blend of history, charm, and natural beauty. Once a bustling hub during the 1850s gold rush, the town still showcases its golden past through grand 19th-century architecture, including the iconic Maryborough Railway Station and the elegant buildings of McLandress Square.

Visitors can explore the town’s past at heritage sites like Worsley Cottage and the Bristol Hill Pioneer Memorial Tower, or discover Indigenous history through local Dja Dja Wurrung cultural landmarks.

Art lovers will enjoy the Central Goldfields Art Gallery, housed in the historic fire station. While film buffs can catch the latest films at the restored Paramount Theatre.

Beyond history, Maryborough offers vibrant cafés and eateries, scenic lakes like Lake Victoria, and serene box-ironbark forests, ideal for walking and birdwatching.
