Mackay

Embark on a journey of exploration and discover one of Queensland's most unspoilt destinations, filled with secluded beaches, rainforests, historical country towns and outback experiences.

The Mackay region is nestled on the coastline halfway between Brisbane and Cairns.

Mackay city is a vibrant city with lovely Art Deco buildings and streets lined with palm trees. The surrounding areas are perfect for holidaying far from crowds.

Some of the area's best-kept secrets include the lush scenery and wildlife at Eungella National Park and Finch Hatton Gorge, the dramatic coastline at Cape Hillsborough National Park, access to the Great Barrier Reef, and the historical hinterland.

Mackay is home to 31 white sandy beaches, including Cape Hillsborough National Park, where local wallabies come to the beach every morning to watch the sunrise.

Eungella and the Pioneer Valley boast Australia's longest stretch of subtropical rainforest, spectacular views, and one of the world's best places to spot an elusive platypus in the wild.

Just off the coast of Mackay, you’ll find colourful reef gardens, pristine beaches and picturesque islands including Brampton Island and Keswick Island.
