Maryborough Customs Complex

CuA fine-art architectural tribute to the historic Maryborough Customs Complex on the Mary River. Designed by renowned architect John Smith Murdoch and completed in 1899, this heritage precinct—encompassing the Customs House, the Residence, and the historic Bond Store—remains an enduring anchor of our regional story. Through dramatic, high-contrast monochrome studies, this collection looks closely at the often-overlooked architectural details that give these buildings their soul: the textures of hand-carved sandstone, aged face brick, cast relief heraldry, heavy timbers, and wrought iron. A celebration of local craftsmanship, structural permanence, and Maryborough’s rich maritime legacy.toms
