Maryborough Who's Who

Coach Aza
For us, it begins with water, with a story, and with a slash (/).
The slash is more than just a symbol —
It’s a lifeline. A current.
A reminder that we are not separate, but with.
With the game. With the land. With each other.
With those who came before, and those who are yet to come.
This is the story of the WaterBros and SistaFlo/Ws.
We are not athletes. Not influencers.
We are witnesses.
Grassroots storytellers.
The ones who show up —
to carry water, to run lines, to capture moments in the dirt,
on the edge of the field, in the heat of the grind.
We are the unseen force that has always been there.
Every splash of hydration, every call from the boundary,
every pep talk at halftime, every parent on the fence.
We move with the game,
we carry the Flo/W.
Our symbol, the slash ( / ), is inspired by the tail of the stingray —
graceful and powerful, protective and precise.
It slashes through time, connecting the old with the new,
ceremony with sport, the sacred with the everyday.
It is the mark we wear, and the rhythm we follow.
And @ —
the spiral, the body, the wings, the eye, the echo of everything.
We don’t just tag it. We live it.
It captures presence. Attention. Connection.
Where we are @/
As a Culture.
As Individuals.
As Community.
Together, @/ become more than brand marks.
They are ceremonial signs.
Markings of a movement.
Signals of belonging.
This is not just a campaign.
It is a resurrection.
A global storytelling movement led by those who stand
in the shadows of the game, and shine light from the sidelines.

Distinguished and Famous people from Maryborough
📚 P. L. Travers
P. L. Travers was born Helen Lyndon Goff in Maryborough in 1899, in the residence above the bank managed by her father. Her family moved away while she was young, long before the Mary Poppins books made her internationally known. The town commemorates the connection with a bronze statue near the birthplace, created through community support and unveiled in 2005. A bank manager’s daughter supplied the imaginative beginning behind one of literature’s best-known nannies, although the novels emerged from a much wider life.
🎖️ Duncan Chapman
Duncan Chapman was born in Maryborough in 1888 and attended local primary school and Maryborough Grammar. He served with the 9th Battalion at Gallipoli and is remembered as probably the first Australian ashore at Anzac, a distinction supported by Charles Bean’s account and Chapman’s own letter. The story also carried a painful family complication: after he was reported missing, his father spent months seeking confirmation that he was alive. Chapman later became a major with the 45th Battalion and was killed near Pozières in August 1916, aged twenty-eight. His Maryborough beginnings remained part of a brief, consequential life.
🌊 John Blight
Poet John Blight worked as a cost accountant for Maryborough timber firm Wilson Hart from 1950 to 1956 and later part-owned sawmills in the district. The working years also included poetry and golf. Blight became especially known for sea sonnets, using a short form to concentrate on one closely observed subject. A Beachcomber’s Diary and My Beachcombing Days brought that approach to a wider readership. He corresponded with writers including Judith Wright and David Malouf and kept scrapbooks of contemporary Australian verse. The Maryborough connection brings a timber-business working life alongside the literary career, rather than requiring the poet to have spent every hour gazing at the ocean.
