Situated by the picturesque Pioneer River between Brisbane and Cairns, Mackay is Queensland’s far north favourite amongst holidaymakers.
With spectacular tropical islands, Great Barrier Reef, secluded beaches and sensual rainforests, it’s not hard to see why.
What’s more, Mackay’s season round sunshine makes any time the right time to take a visit. However, there is much more to North Queensland’s tropical treasure than first meets the eye.
Alfresco dining at Marina Village, Sunday markets in the city centre, Artspace Mackay Modern Art Gallery and Museum, gold fossicking in the hinterland and historical townships make Mackay more than just a resort town.
