Maryborough Aerodrome in VIC is located 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) northwest of the town of Maryborough in Victoria.
Once a hugely successful gold mining town with a population which may have reached as high was 53,000 prospectors, Maryborough is now a small city with a number of impressive buildings of which the railway station is particularly impressive. It is a city to be savoured and explored. Both Princes Park (one of the best parks outside Melbourne) and the remarkable Railway Station (which led Mark Twain to observe that Maryborough was “a railway station with a town attached”) are worthy of close inspection. The surrounding district, with its many reminders of the goldrush era, is ideal for bushwalkers and visitors wanting to enjoy a bush picnic.
