Maryborough, Regional center in Victoria, Australia

Maryborough stands at an elevation of 241 meters on the Pyrenees Highway, 168 kilometers northwest of Melbourne in the Central Goldfields region.

The discovery of gold in 1854 transformed the settlement from a sheep station into a large mining town with a population reaching 30,000 people.

The Dja Dja Wurrung people maintained their traditional connections to the land before European settlement began with the Simson brothers' Charlotte Plains station in 1840.

The Maryborough railway station connects the town to Ballarat and Melbourne through daily train services, while the Pyrenees Highway provides road access to neighboring regions.

The Energy Breakthrough event features Human Powered Vehicle races that draw participants from across Australia to compete in this regional Victorian town.
