Mary Poppins Mania Hits Maryborough!!
Mary Poppins mania hits Maryborough this July as the city celebrates in outlandish style its unique connection to the world’s most famous nanny.

a bank building in Maryborough in 1899.

The mission of Maryborough Portside is to re-establish the bygone days of Wharf Street at its height. We are Wharf Street businesses devoted to bringing back
the hustle and bustle of the days when the area flourished. It is our intention to bring tourism and life back to the beauty of this historic district.
The history of Portside is extensive, dating back to 1847 when the port was opened for the transport of wool, right up to the closure of Walkers shipyard in 1974. In
1999, the luxury liner, Norwegian Star, made a visit to the port and with the renown of Fraser Island and Hervey Bay whale watching, the future of the Portside area may
well have its place as a regular stopover feature of luxury cruises.
Our belief is that the potential for refurbishment and rebirth is limited only to our imaginations. And we, of the Maryborough Portside / Wharf Street business district,
know no imaginative bounds!!
