This is a fascinating history of the town of Maryborough, which is situated to the north of Brisbane near the Queensland coast. Covering the years 1850 through to 1895, and topics such as early settlement, the 'New Maryborough' in 1896, various places surrounding such as Fraser Island, Gympie as well as various local railways and other nearby features.

This book also includes a biographical section listing "Pioneers of Wide Bay, Old Colonists, Living and Dead". For most people listed within this section there is at least a paragraph or two of details, however some are up to several pages long.

The latter parts of the book deal with the education, religion, societies and clubs of the town, and well as the local industries. The suburban and country townships section near the end, is almost a mini gazetteer ... which may help you find that small (or now non-existent) place in Queensland you were looking for. The book is completed with the inclusion of numerous photographs both of people and places.

Nineteenth Century Maryborough

Posted by Ross Hansen on 3rd Aug 2022

Don’t be put off by the title to this product as its beauty lies in the fact that it covers many of the Queensland towns around and beyond Maryborough. My late wife’s paternal ancestors migrated to Maryborough during the second half of the 1900s so this CD has been invaluable in understanding what they might have seen, how they might have lived and generally what life was like back then. Nominally, it covers the period 1850 to 1895 but it also gives insight into life before and after that period. As a bonus, there is also a biographical section about many of the pioneers to the area.
HISTORY OF MARYBOROUGH

Posted by Debbie McNeil on 9th Mar 2022

I purchased this book as I have discovered both my father’s family and my mother’s family all lived for a time in the Maryborough area when they first came to Australia in the 1800’s. Currently I am in the process of shifting home, but glancing through the book before packing up, I believe this will be a very well used book by the time I am finished with the F.H. (if one can ever be finished :-D)

Thank you Gould and I do believe I have never been disappointed yet in any book/e-book/CD that I have purchased from you.
