Situated on the northern slopes of the Great Dividing Range and surrounded by bush, the large town of Maryborough has roots which date back to the Gold Rush days of the mid-1800s when gold mining was the predominant industry in the region.

Historical buildings are a feature of Maryborough today, with the highlights being the grand railway station and the post office. The lookout tower at the Bristol Hill Reserve, on the western edge of town, offers impressive views over Maryborough and the surrounding countryside, while Lake Victoria and the Goldfields Reservoir are popular recreation spots within the town.

A short drive south of Maryborough is the Paddys Ranges State Park where you can observe relics of the gold mining era and enjoy a colourful wildflower display.
