As you come off the street this amazing space opens up and it's easy to imagine the vibrant atmosphere during an event. The gallery is also worth a visit as it showcases the creativity of local and visiting artists.

Lots to see and read. Walk the path and hear the men marching. Read descriptions of Gallipoli to Armistice as well as read words on the path to the end of the war. Also other free standing statues.

We’ve eaten at Portside Cafe four times in the last two months. Its stunning location on the edge of the park, by the river, and in a heritage building, is so relaxing and lovely that you don’t want to leave. The service is friendly and always helpful, as I’m a coeliac and usually need some extra negotiations over the menu. Food is delicious Mexican influenced flavours, and the coffee is good. We always have a wonderful time here and have driven up from Brisbane to enjoy it again!

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.

This place was one of the highlights of our trip. The roses were all out in bloom and we could have spent forever looking at them. It was truly a lovely way to start our morning. We met some of the volunteers who tend to the gardens and they were absolutely lovely.

There are 36 murals/works of art in all, and some of them are hard to find, and not quite where they are shown to be on the map you can get from the Information office. Interesting art work detailing some of the local history and you get exercise and a good view of the town doing it. Some are in public buildings which can be closed.
