VISITING MARYBOROUGH
Maryborough, located in the heart of the Central Goldfields region is just under a 2 hour drive from Melbourne. It offers an ideal base for day trips to Ballarat, Bendigo, Castlemaine, Historic Maldon, Avoca, the Pyrenees Wineries and the Grampians.
Many of the grand old buildings and historic cottages date back to the gold rush era and serve as reminders of Maryborough's rich history. The Historic Railway station with its Café and antiques is a must see for any visitor.
The cafes, pubs and restaurants offer variety cuisines at very affordable prices with charge-back arrangements for Motel guests.
Gold fossicking is a popular past time for many visitors with Gold tours and workshops available on a regular basis. Don't miss a visit just up the road to Coiltek's Gold expo and museum.
The sports minded are well catered for with the excellent standard Maryborough Golf Course and Bowling club, football and cricket, an outdoor swimming pool and heated indoor pool in the Rosita's Fitness and Aquatic Centre and Cycle track.
The budding astronomer will not want to miss a visit to the Talbot astronomical observatory. See the moon with its real mountains and craters, Jupiter with its cloud belts and giant red spot, Mars and its ice caps and Saturn with its ring system, the Nebulae with its stellar nurseries and Globular Clusters - vast balls of millions of Stars almost as old as the Universe.
