Today I learned that P.L. Travers, author of the Mary Poppins books, was born in Maryborough, Queensland. A bronze Mary Poppins statue stands outside the bank her father worked at (now ‘The Story Bank’ museum), but I was especially taken with the customised pedestrian crossing. #books#MaryPoppins

Bronze statue of Mary Poppins, umbrella aloft, on the footpath outside an old bank building in Maryborough, Queensland.
Pedestrian crossing button on pole with associated sticker indicating crossing rules with a silhouette of Mary Poppins, complete with umbrella.
Pedestrian crossing signal on street corner in Maryborough, Queensland. The signal light is showing a customised red silhouette of Mary Poppins, holding a folded umbrella at her side to indicate she is not moving.
