Maryborough, Qld. A Walk in the Park
Say hello to Maryborough - a town steeped in history which tells the tales of its captivating colonial past mixed with an artistic vibe everywhere you go. You can explore its stories from the past through striking art, statues, heritage buildings, memorials and museums surrounding what was once one of Australia's largest ports.
Don't forget to jump into the magical world of Mary Poppins in the birthplace of author P.L Travers. A short stroll through heritage-listed Queens Park will lead you to Cherry Tree Lane and the statue of Mary Poppins perched next to the 136-year-old building where P.L Travers was born in 1889.
While you're in Queens Park, take a look at the statue of Duncan Chapman, the first Anzac ashore at Gallopoli, who symbolises the rich military history of Maryborough. Keen to learn a little bit more about Maryborough's military past? In the portside precinct is Australia's finest military museum outside of Canberra and across the street a tippler tells tales of tasting liquor at the old Bond Store.

Maryborough Anzac Memorial
The focal point is an arbour of weathered steel columns, soaring up eight metres high, representing the landscape of Anzac Cove and the cliffs on a fateful shore.
The trail then leads through the park with statues and audio tracing the journey of Anzacs through The Great War.
Every nation has its story. This is our story, said the director of the Australian War Memorial, Brendan Nelson. Now 100 years on … we have the stories told in art, in education, and in commemoration.Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and local politicians were joined by embassy representatives, senior military officials and hundreds of Maryborough locals for the unveiling of the memorial.

Fraser Coast - where the Mary Poppins magic began.
Maryborough (Queensland) is a historic portside town and also the birthplace of Pamela Travers (author of Mary Poppins). The story of Travers being persuaded by Walt Disney to allow the 1964 film rights to go ahead has been re-told in the recent feature film 'Saving Mr Banks'.
This video has been launched by Fraser Coast Opportunities to celebrate the region where the Mary Poppins inspiration and magic began. Boasting beautiful scenery, the indoor location of this clip has been shot in the original house of Travers birth.

Majestic Queenslander on a prestigious 4 lot estate -17 Burilda St, Hendra
Discover an extraordinary piece of Queensland history and a wealth of opportunity within this grand circa.1900 residence.
Set on sprawling 1382m2 grounds in Hendra’s most exclusive street, “Oronsay” presents timeless elegance, quality craftmanship and the potential to become one of Brisbane’s most magnificent estates. Spanning 4 separate lots, the property also offers scope for development or sale of one 405m2 lot* without compromising the scale and design of the existing home.
Retaining its original grandeur, the home’s a broad wrap-around verandah leads inside, where soaring 12ft ceilings, leadlight glass as well as ornate pillars and fretwork adorn the striking entryway.
Timber floorboards, VJ walls and double height sash windows create a graceful ambience in the oversized bedrooms, while a stunning formal lounge/dining room is enhanced by the original open fireplace and opulent chandeliers.
Relaxed, yet filled with the sophisticated charm of pressed metal ceilings, the original exposed brick and iron fireplace, and even a century-old telephone, the open-plan family areas encompass an updated kitchen with custom timber cabinetry and modern appliances. The versatile floorplan offers a series of additional breakaway rooms, perfect as further living, bedrooms and a study.
To the rear, a large alfresco entertaining deck overlooks the expansive lawns, established fully-fenced gardens and gorgeous traditional-style cubby house. There is also the ideal space, orientation and access to build a swimming pool if desired.
The home’s lower level hosts a series of huge self-contained multipurpose spaces, currently utilised as a rumpus with plumbed kitchenette and separate additional bedroom.
Additional property features include two beautiful bathrooms with clawfoot bathtubs, reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans and vast remote integrated garaging with abundant secure storage/workshop space.
Boasting beautifully maintained character details and a previous award-winning renovation, it is easy to see how further remodelling, raising or extending the home would transform it into an architectural masterpiece fusing both past and present. The home also offers superb immediate liveability or the option to enjoy excellent rental returns while future plans for the property are undertaken.
Privately nestled in a quiet tree-lined street and elevated to capture fresh Bay breezes, this exceptional address is located just a short walk to bus and train transport, local cafes, restaurants and parkland, as well as Hendra State School and Our Lady Help of Christians Primary. Also offering swift access to elite private schools, the CBD and Coasts, it sits minutes from Eagle Farm and Doomben Racecourses, Racecourse Road, Portside, Brisbane Airport and a number of arterial roads.
A once-in-a-generation opportunity, we invite you to experience Hendra’s most impressive and versatile character estate.

Queensland Flooding 2010-2011
Even as heavy rain battered the state for most of December, Queenslanders were unprepared for the enormity of the events about to unfold.
By the end of the flood disaster, 75% of the state would be declared a natural disaster zone, thousands of homes would be damaged or destroyed and more than 20 people would lose their lives.
This video was put together to give viewers an insight into the size and scale of the floods that have wreaked havoc on two-thirds of the state since Christmas.
Our people worked tirelessly around the state, clearing debris and repairing our infrastructure in order to return our vital rail services as quickly as possible.
Services on the North Coast line between Gladstone and Mackay were finally restored on Wednesday 19 January after being cut for nearly a month.
As the clean-up continues, we can all be proud that even though Queensland has been devastated by flooding, this disaster has not dampened our compassionate and generous spirit.
