These murals fell into disrepair and were removed from the Church. An effort to get a picture of the al fresco murals for the Maryborough Mural project to recreate these images is underway.
If anyone has a picture of the al fresco artworks inside St Mary's Church in Maryborough, please let Fraser Coast Libraries' Information Services Librarian know by ringing (07) 41905788.
