Fantastic, a must see when visiting Maryborough QLD
Bring out your inner childhood again.
Mary Poppins Museum is fantastic & the restoration of the building is amazing, Mary Poppins traffic lights are great.

Something I didn’t know…the author of Nary Poppins was born in this town…in the bank where the statue is situated. Love the walk, don’t walk road crossing signs, very creative

Visited on Sunday 26th February, what visit to Maryborough would be complete without checking out this statue of Mary Poppins, standing there to greet everyone.

Not a great statue to our eyes but then we're not of the right age, nor have we even seen the movie. But nice to see a small town honour a favourite daughter (the author - who was apparently born in the adjacent building). Also look out for the cutesy traffic lights.

Pretty good statue as far as statues go. Can the impossible be possible? Did she wink at me? Anything is possible with Mary Poppins. 😆

We visited Maryborough, Queensland, for the Mary Poppins Festival and enjoyed the fun, food, music, people in costume, chimney sweep races, steam train ride, art, vintage cars and much more, in honour of P L Travers and her world-famous nanny. Afterwards we took photos of ourselves with the Mary Poppins statue outside the Story Bank (which was once a real bank and P L Travers home) and were amazed at the memorabilia and information on the author. Well worth a visit!

How do you do, Mary?

I have travelled a long way to see you. No, not in distance ... that was a mere 1700 kilometres. :)

I have returned from my childhood where I dreamed of you, wished you into existence. I always found you profoundly reasonable in your approach to life.

Behave appropriately and be aware of what life has on offer. You stressed upon us ...oh yes, 'us'... millions of children knew of you Mary... the importance of finding balance, understanding and fulfilling obligations, and subordinating personal ambition.

I came to thank you... I came to remember ... I have made mistakes, been challenged ... but you were always there. Mary, you are quite inspirational. I have never lost my sense of wonder. I have tried not to judge by appearance, nor let sentiment muddle my thinking.

I really must go... yes, it's time. I made my journey to see you...but you are always with me, have always been with me... Thank you, Mary Poppins.

This is an amazing interactive experience. It is fantastic for kids and lovers of literature. We spent over an hour here and could have spent more for sure.

Gorgeous little statue, good for a photo. The bonus however were the traffic lights next to the statue! Check them out!
