Today we visited Maryborough and did the "Tourist Thing" - LoL. First off a visit to the Town Hall and Information Centre where we booked our tickets for a mini bus tour of the town. It was excellent .... our guide was very knowledgable and we saw lots of beautifully restored old homes and learnt quite a bit about the town itself. Then we were off to the markets to have a browse and some lunch before catching a ferry for a cruise on the "Muddy" Mary River in the afternoon.

This beautiful old tree is in the park between the main shopping area and the yacht club.
This photo was taken in the same park. It is so well kept with lots of lovely grassy areas and seating.
The ferry coming to pick us up.
Heading down the river .................
The story we were told about this home is if you look carefully you can see another brick building tucked in behind.

Apparently that home had been there for years and had a terrific river view. The opportunity came a few years ago for the owner to purchase the block of land in front for a very reasonable price - however he decided that no-one could possibly build on that bit of land and block his view so declined.

Well .......... guess what .......... I hate to think of what his wife says to him every day when they look out from their front patio...LoL.

I am sooooo tired and wiped out tonight. It was a good day but honestly sometimes I wonder whether going away is worth it. Feeling fluey again but I know that's only the Chronic Fatigue. Tomorrow we can have a slow start in the morning before meeting Margaret, Keith (& Rosie) for fish and chips at lunchtime down on the beach front. Then at night having tea with Bill & Leanne in a lovely open air restaurant / cafe which is nearby.
