Mackay

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

Nestled on the coastline halfway between Brisbane and Cairns, the Mackay Region can be accessed via Air, Train, Bus or Self Drive.

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, over 31 beautiful beaches, access to the Great Barrier Reef, and the region's historical hinterland.

Take the opportunity to get up close and friendly with a platypus, experience the ride of your life on a sea flight to a deserted island, and catch a flying fox that has you skimming over a spectacular rainforest canopy.
