Original Maryborough Town Site, Archaeological site in Maryborough, Queensland, Australia

The Original Maryborough Town Site is an archaeological site on the south bank of the Mary River, about four kilometres northwest of central Maryborough. Occupied between 1848 and 1855, it keeps most of its original town layout in open, undeveloped land, with visible signs of former streets and building foundations.

The site was occupied from 1848 to 1855, after George Furber set up a wool store and wharf on the south bank of the Mary River in 1847. A post office opened on 23 January 1849, and the settlement became a port for wool, hides, timber and tallow. In 1850 surveyor Hugh Roland Labatt judged the existing site unsuitable for a port, and the town later moved to the deeper river bend at Queen's Park.

The remains show how early European settlers organized their lives and what objects they used daily. The arrangement of foundations and graves reveals the social structures of those early years.

The site is located about four kilometers northwest of present-day Maryborough and can be visited as a walking destination. The open location allows easy exploration, though no special preparations or equipment are required.

The abandoned site remained undeveloped for many years and allows archaeologists to study the layouts and building styles of the early colonial period. Artifacts like household items offer rare insights into the daily lives of those first inhabitants.
