We visited here recently and we very impressed with the friendly welcome and amount of things there were to see here. Apparently they have something like 11,000 items on display all of which was presented very well. The museum is not huge, but if you like to read everything, you could easily spend a 2-3 hours there. Our children enjoyed the visit and the lady playing the piano was very good.

Ride a full size replica of the first steam train built in Queensland in 1873, through Queens Park, the first botanical gardens in Queensland,with great views of the Mary River.Then take a tour through the historically listed buildings at Portside (extra cost), and finish with a visit to our rail museum, located in the old Maryborough Railway station, to view the hundreds of items depicting the days when the Railway was the lifeblood of so many communities across the country. Every Thursday and last Sunday of the month from 9 am, last ride approx. 12.30pm.

This beautiful restored steam locomotive operates every Thursday (same as Maryborough markets). Operated entirely by enthusiastic volunteers there is a nominal charge for a sedate 15 minute ride through parkland and historic riverside. There are 3 open air carriages each made of and named after an iconic Queensland timber. Information is provided on the Mary Ann locomotive, both technical and historical. Great fun for all the family

This park is nicely maintained and has a lot on offer. Allow enough time to wander around the whole park or you could miss something. There’s a beautiful military tribute including bronze statues and audio information, rotundas, waterfall, lovely views of the Mary River, interesting trees (not sure what they were) and a replica Mary Ann train. The train is only available on Thursday mornings and one Sunday a month. It travels around one side of the park and back and charges a small fee which is well and truely worth it as run by volunteers.

Standing in the forecourt of the Gallipoli to Armistice Maryborough ANZAC Memorial is a life size bronze statue of Major Duncan Chapman, born in Maryborough in 1888, it is written that he was the first ANZAC to step ashore at Gallipoli on the 25th of April 1915. Sadly he was killed on French soil at Pozieres on the 6th of August 1916 but will be remembered forever through this significant memorial in Queens Park.
