About MARYBOROUGH

Maryborough is a city located on the Mary River in South East Queensland, Australia, approx. 300km north of the state capital, Brisbane. The city is serviced by the Bruce Highway, and has a population of approx. 26,000 (2004). It shares a unique bond with its neighbouring city Hervey Bay, which is approximately 30kms to the north-east. Together they form part of the area known as the Fraser Coast, one of the country's fastest-growing regions.

History
Maryborough was founded in 1843, was proclaimed a municipality in 1861, and became a city in 1905. During the 1800s, the city was a major port of entry to immigrants arriving in Queensland from all parts of the world. Over time the town has been a service town for many industries including wool, timber, and sugar.

The Mary River has such a wide mouth that at one stage Maryborough was nominated as possible capital city status before Brisbane.

Ecology
Maryborough's environment supports rare and endangered terrestrial and aquatic fauna including the Red Crested Black Cockatoo.

The original town site was occupied until 1855 and there is a heritage walk with plaques indicating where the initial settlement was established. The town has many fine heritage buildings which were erected in the 1870s. Sugar, grazing and the timber industry support the local economy.
