I have a great desire to return and explore further. Landmark photos below give an idea of early Maryborough, finishing with a late afternoon stroll alongside the Mary River. The first window below echoes the words of author P L Travels while further on is the window of the family library in the corner of the building… oh, and there’s Mary Poppins…Īfter a meal, live music and a quick look at Phillips Botanical Gardens, next came chalk street art, a visit to the calm atmosphere of the Art Gallery and a bit of history found under the paint and framed. The final parade was a sight to behold, everyone had happy smiles!īelow is the childhood home of P L Travers, formerly a bank (her father was the bank manager) which is now a beautifully preserved, interactive tribute to her writing career. Special buildings and ye olde shops were open, roads were closed, hot food stalls did a roaring trade, and there were nanny and chimney sweep races. Next showing the historical side… more info on Mary Ann steam locomotive Here are some of the fabulous people who made the whole day magical and supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Here is my pictorial of the Mary Poppins Festival 2022 in Maryborough, Queensland, where Helen Lyndon Goff (better known as Pamela Lyndon Travers) grew up with no inkling of her wonderful life ahead as an author and creator of a children’s literary icon.
