Maryborough

 We were staying at a farm stay north of the city and wanted to go south to a boat ramp. While doing this we noticed that some streets were closed due to market day. We decided to go back there for lunch, it was only 10am.

Parking was an issue when we came back and by the time we parked and walked to Adelaide street the market was being packed up. We went to a cafe and ordered lunch, then I wandered to the town hall. To my surprise, I saw the town crier dragging a small artillery gun and Mary Poppins. She took a phone call so I chattered to the town crier.

Apparently every Thursday they hold markets, close the main road. These two were in full costumes and the gun is fired at 1pm.
