Mary Poppins Statue, Bronze statue in Maryborough, Australia.
The bronze statue portrays Mary Poppins holding her signature umbrella at the corner of Kent and Richmond Streets in front of Story Bank.
P.L. Travers, born Helen Goff in 1899 at the former Union Bank building, created the Mary Poppins character based on experiences from her childhood in Maryborough.
The life-sized statue represents the original literary character from P.L. Travers' eight books rather than subsequent film adaptations of Mary Poppins.
The statue stands 2.5 meters tall in an accessible location, allowing visitors to take photographs and explore the surrounding historical district.
The statue faces the building where P.L. Travers was born, which now functions as Story Bank museum dedicated to her literary legacy.
