Maryborough Military and Colonial Museum

The Maryborough Military and Colonial Museum is a volunteer-run museum on Wharf Street in Maryborough, Queensland, within the Fraser Coast region. It houses an extensive collection of Australian military and colonial-era artefacts spanning from the 19th century to modern conflicts. Notable for its large holdings of uniforms, medals, firearms, photographs and personal memorabilia, the museum preserves local and national military history and offers insight into colonial life in the Wide Bay region.

Visitors can expect a large indoor museum housed in a heritage building on Wharf Street near the Mary River. The interior contains densely displayed rooms and corridors with glass cases, mannequins in uniform, medals, firearms, photographs, documents, and colonial household items. Volunteer guides are often available to explain displays. The visit is self-paced through themed sections covering colonial settlement, World War I, World War II and later conflicts, with opportunities for close viewing and photography of artefacts.
