Mackay Region

Fringed by the Great Barrier Reef and backed by rainforest, Mackay is a region full of contrasts and colour. Watch wallabies on the beach at Cape Hillsborough, swim in freshwater gorges at Finch Hatton, or explore art deco streets in the heart of town. Snorkel off nearby islands, wander the Pioneer Valley, or discover sugarcane heritage along scenic drives. It’s vibrant, relaxed, and packed with natural surprises.
