Distinguished and Famous people from Maryborough
🏉 Kai Lohmann
Kai Lohmann grew up in Maryborough before reaching AFL premiership football. Central Goldfields Shire also identifies him as a former participant in Energy Breakthrough, the town’s school-based event exploring transport, design and energy. That gives his local story an appealing second dimension: a future elite footballer once took part in the practical teamwork of building and racing a school vehicle. Council highlighted his Maryborough upbringing when announcing a new partnership for the event in 2025. His biography links sporting achievement with a community occasion remembered by many people whose later lives followed very different paths.
🏉 Lauren Butler
Lauren Butler grew up in Maryborough and attended Ballarat Grammar before joining Collingwood in the AFL Women’s competition. Her playing pathway included the Greater Western Victoria Rebels, leading to selection in the 2018 national draft. The regional upbringing and school years preceded a professional sporting environment in Melbourne. Butler’s story adds women’s football to the town’s sporting connections, with a route through regional development programs rather than a sudden arrival at the highest level.
