Maryborough Walk July 25

 Town Walking Tour of Maryborough. Leaders Chris Charleson and Maria Grigg.

We will travel on the 10:47 Maryborough train from Ballarat. We’ll reserve seats for you.Note that this train goes on directly through Creswick, not Wendouree.

Allow time to get a paper return ticket as Maryborough is not served by Myki. 

If car parking at the station is scarce, try the area around the corner of Seymour and Neill St for all day parking.

On arrival at Maryborough just before midday, we will initially go to the station Visitor’s Centre for a brief audio-visual presentation on the history of Gold Exploration in the area.

We suggest that you bring a picnic lunch that we can have at the nearby covered amphitheatre.

Then we commence the town walk, taking in the Botanic Gardens, Goldrush Architecture, the small but stylish Art Gallery and a spooky grandstand.

We will return to the station in time for afternoon tea or maybe a better look around the building and info.centre. A flat walk of  3+k altogether.

The return train leaves b 3:00 for our return by 4.
