Passing through Maryborough

It's been a wet Wednesday in eastern Australia. We made a short drive, 120 km in all, from Hervey Bay to Rainbow Beach. Along the way, we stopped for a brief look around Maryborough, a quaint town with a (relatively) deep history. One highlight: It is the birthplace of PL Travers (1899-1996), the author of six Mary Poppins books. The huge banyan tree was in a park bordering the Mary River and near the central business district.

Love the Mary Poppins Statue. And I like that last Banyan picture of mom with Lex's legs peaking out from the vines.

I'm about to leave for the final "Pitch Day" presentation. I've had a 24 hour headache from the craziness of the past two days but things should be slowing down by tomorrow afternoon (hopefully)
