SHOPPING TO SAVOUR You can literally taste and smell Maryborough specialities when you explore varied shopping. The Engineers Arms Marketplace in the grand heritage building near the Mary Poppins statue is crammed with Fraser Coast souvenirs, screen prints, timber craft, ingenious products, rare local books and amusing creations. Taste CC’s rosella foods, Mary Macon lamb bacon; smell and sigh in Incandescents and find culinary creations and homewares tucked away around the streets. Seek out novelty items and Mary Poppins memorabilia at the Visitors Information Centre; meander the weekly Thursday market for more local wares and at the Bond Store museum discover regional liqueur in novelty bottles. Don’t miss speciality stores famed in all states: Anne’s fitted lingerie and Langers’ sensible shoes.
Vintage Treasu
res
Upmarket Bijoux antiques, intriguing collectables, old books and vintage treasures are tucked among secondhand goods in a dozen outlets in the city. On the outskirts are coffee shops with easy parking that mix cake and quiche with clothes, curios, crochet and lovables. A little further out, find fruity indulgence at the Lychee Divine shop and keep your eye out for macadamia products. Bauple is the home of the macadamia nut (the locals still call it the Bauple or bopple nut). So don’t miss macadamia treats. You’ll find them when you visit the Bauple museum.
