At the Maryborough Military and Colonial Museum expect the unexpected - the unusual, the quirky and eclectic amongst 4000 items of military and colonial memorabilia, which form displays of exceptional quality. The museum provides a testament to not only those heroes who fought in distant lands to ensure our way of life and prosperity, but also those courageous and determined people who pioneered and progressed the Maryborough area for almost two centuries. The exhibits include 3 Victoria Crosses, a Cross of Valour, many other significant medals, uniforms and period costumes as well as historic vehicles and scale models of ships and planes. For the art lover there is trench art, paintings, murals, wood sculpture and relief carving. Pianists entertain visitors with everything from old wartime favourites to jazz and recent popular music. All this as well as a 2000 book library, primarily of Australian and NZ military history, are housed in a magnificent heritage listed structure built in 1879. Research facilities, including photocopying, are available for family historians. The Museum is part of Maryborough's Portside district which runs from the Brolga Theatre along the Mary River to the Marina and extends out to parts of Kent, Bazaar and March Streets in the CBD. Maryborough's once thriving wharves are long gone, but in their place is an exceptional heritage precinct called Portside - with sensational parklands, museums, restaurants, art galleries, historic pubs, steam train rides and river cruises.

Around 150 years ago, Maryborough was one of Australia's largest and busiest ports. Now Portside offers beautiful open spaces, spectacular river views and a chance to soak up history against a backdrop of glorious colonial architecture.

Marianne Lethbridge and Edward Murray took up the development of this vineyard on 12 October, 2007. In three short years they have transformed a small hobby farm into a recognized tourist destination. There is a myriad of activities available to visitors; starting with award - winning wines of excellence and a manicured six acre working vineyard and including an elegant tasting room incorporating art and sculpture, an attractive al fresco eatery, gift and gourmet gallery, heritage play area, heirloom herb and vegetable gardens, animal patting farm and a sculpture walk. Planted in 2000, this organic vineyard nestles between the gentle slopes of the fertile and productive valleys of the Isis fruit growing area. The verdant surroundings and pleasant climate give rise to a place of peace and restful beauty where several varieties of red and white grapes are grown along with tranquil gardens and a mixed fruit orchard. The property lies only two minutes from the Bruce Highway along the North Isis Road and is very clearly signposted along a quality bitumen road. The work is on-going and the owners and their well-trained staff work tirelessly on the property creating a unique wine - growing and tourism destination. Their wines are medal winners and so well regarded that they are now very much sought after.

Flying High Bird Park is one of Queenslands great family tourist attractions, located just North of Childers on the Bruce Highway. Flying High Bird Park offers a haven for thousands of both exotic and Australian native birds. Make friends with lots of our feathered residents which are keen to be in a selfie with you. At Flying High Bird Park you have that up close and personal experience with lots of colourful birds as you wonder through the gardens of this 6.5 acre bird park. At Flying High Bird Park, we are working hard to ensure that our wildlife will be around for generations. We have a very successful breeding program for many of our native animals. Many of our Australian birds have declined to very low numbers and are now rarely seen. Our native birds spend a lot of time feeding on the ground where feral cats and foxes can easily catch them to eat. Also habitat loss is not only the trees or grasses for nesting, but in some cases their complete food source disappears. By visiting Flying High Bird Park you are helping us to continue our wildlife conservation.
