Today we drove north to Bundaberg via the tiny village of Bauple (where white people discovered Macadamia nuts in 1828 - the actual trees are still there! Aboriginals discovered the nuts 30,000 years ago). We visited the tiny museum at Bauple, then continued on to Maryborough. We had coffee at the historic wharf area by the river. This whole area was made up of gardens and heritage buildings.
By the river at Maryborough
One of the many heritage buildings. We looked around the Bond Store (unfortunately James wasn't in) built 1864.
Between the river and the heritage buildings were gardens...
...with views of the river
There was a lot of sculpture - this is one of a group made from old wharf bollards.
Free books in the phone booth.
Me and Mary Poppins. Author Pamela Travers was born here.
Next on the agenda was Hervey Bay...
... we walked the kilometre-long jetty...
... and this osprey flew down to steal fish from just in front of us.
