After Woodgate we went further south and stayed in Maryborough for a week. Maryborough is a town we would normally pass through on our way somewhere else as we didn't realise it had much to offer. Our decision to stay was mainly because it was a cheap place to stay and offered easy access to the area around Maryborough, to places like Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast. To our surprise we found a town which offered much more than we had anticipated.
