Today, the station is also home to a museum & gallery, café and Visitor Information Centre, making it the perfect place to visit and appreciate the unique history of this beautiful and rich area. Visit the Railway Cafe and Tracks Bar and while you are there check out the magnificent railway station. The Maryborough Railway Station opened in 1874 and quickly established its importance as a major junction within country Victoria. The current building was built in 1890 – a grand red brick building featuring 25 rooms and a clock tower – and rumours circulated that the plans were actually intended for Maryborough in Queensland, or perhaps even Melbourne’s Spencer Street Station as it was so elaborate and large. In fact, when in 1895 the famous writer Mark Twain, visited he quipped that “You can put the whole population of Maryborough into it with a sofa a piece and have room for more.” Maryborough became known as the railway station with a town attached.
