Learnt a lot about submarines and Australia's part in the war. Didn't realise they were so old. Not sure when I thought they came about but it wasn't so early in the 1900's. There is parking and seats here as well as roses

Discover the magic of Mary Poppins at the birthplace of her author, P.L. Travers. Once upon a time a baby girl was born in the upstairs bedroom at the Australian Joint Stock Bank on the corner of Kent and Richmond Streets in Maryborough, Queensland. Her name was Helen Lyndon Goff, but she became known to the world as P.L. Travers, author of the Mary Poppins stories. Visit her heritage-listed birthplace which has been transformed into The Story Bank – a bank that trades in stories. As you cross the threshold, you will enter a world where fantasy and fact intertwine. Tales and yarns, myths and legends, memories and stories – share in their retelling and their creation. The Story Bank has a great story to tell... but most of all, we invite you to come find your own story and add it to our collection.

We visit the square as it was shown on the map and decided to investigate while in Brisbane, what we didn’t know until we arrived was that there were galleries. The galleries are well set out and cover many conflicts from the Great War, Second World War, Korea and other conflicts that Australian and New Zealand armed forces have been engaged in. It’s all very well laid out and very informative.

The memorial to the tree was great to see. We saw the tree just before it died. The memorial, and information, does it justice and will withstand a few more generations coming out to see Australian History.

There is a bronze statue of the Bee Gees from when they were boys growing up in Redcliffe. The statue marks the start of Bee Gees Way, a walkway dotted with photos, anecdotes and other items donated by Barry Gibb. It was opened by Barry on 14 February 2013.

This is so well put together and a great tribute to these Aussie / Queensland Boys, and so interesting to take time and just walk along and listen and read and the memories come flooding back.

Our friends drove us to this spiritually uplifting place of worship. It is spanking clean and tidy throughout befitting a highly rated religious place of worship. An ergonomically designed chapel is located a few meters away from the car park. A walk from the chapel to the left will take visitors on a trek covering the way of the cross. Throughout the other well maintained and manicured areas, structures / places of worship dedicated to Mother Mary from churches around the world, installed with either pictures or statues with a brief informative history can be found. According to my memory areas dedicated to Lourdes, Fatima, Velankanni, Guadalupe and unique churches from other countries such as Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Poland etc. as well as areas of worship dedicated to saints Joseph, Anthony, Theresa and a new area for Mother Theresa (under construction) too can be found among others. I understand that this is a retreat centre to reflect and pray in a secluded environment. Highly recommended for all interested catholic believers. The public toilets were among the best found in Australia or anywhere in the world.
