Relaxed, tropical and picturesque Mackay is an exciting, vibrant city with all the charm of an unspoilt seaside town. Experience the beautiful beaches, friendly locals, cosy restaurants and cosmopolitan shopping centres. The Pioneer River flows past the city’s historical buildings and rows of palm trees fringe the main street.
Located approximately halfway between Brisbane and Cairns, Mackay has all the appeal of a Queensland country town, with all the features of a bustling regional centre.
Enjoy a holiday in the natural heartland of Queensland, learning about the area’s fascinating past. There are so many things to do without even leaving the city heart.
Mackay City Heart boasts the second highest number of Art Deco buildings in the Southern Hemisphere! Collect a Heritage Walk Guide from the Visitor Information Centre at Town Hall and explore ‘The Heart’. This walk is detailed of Mackay’s heritage listed buildings and turn of the century buildings.
For an even more colourful appreciation of the Mackay’s History, catch the public art created by 500 local volunteers for the Horizons Project. This colourful rejuvenation program uses mosaics and sculptures to depict the city’s past.
Whatever your needs, Mackay City Heart has over 350 businesses. Dining out is worry-free with cuisine choices to suit everyone. Mackay’s dining scene has something to suit everyone’s taste and budget. And when the sun goes down the city heart comes alive with its clubs, bars, coffee shops and brasseries, regional style!
As evening descends on the city the raucous Rainbow Lorikeets return to the Royal Palms lining the streets and the ‘City Heart’ comes alive. On Friday nights between 5.00 and 9.00 p.m., be entertained with live entertainment. Jazz one week, rock’n’roll the next - you'll never get bored.Photos
