SOMETHING ABOUT MARY

THE author of the whimsical English nanny Mary Poppins books grew up in Allora as a young child. And you can still see where Helen Goff — aka PL Travers’ — books started at 61 Herbert Street. The typical Queensland home will transport you back in time, situated along a charming country road.

Don’t forget to check out Allora’s two museums while you’re here.
