I wasn't intentionally having a go at Mackay (we were only there for 1 day and spent most of it at the national park), I was just having a go at the bizarre tourist attraction of the opera singers house! For a traveller relying on public transport the beaches nearby are not very handy and we preferred to see the great barrier reef from Agnes Water (Lady Musgrave Island). For me Mackay was a fairly "average" town... nothing too exciting. But had more atmosphere than either Rockhampton or Bundaberg!! Hi Simon,

thanks for the comment!

There is amazing seafood to be had in & around Mackay as the fishing just off the coast is fantastic. Further - with Airlie Beach & the Whitsundays only just over an hour away, Mackay is the perfect landing spot before heading out to the Islands. You abviously are not an outdoorsy type of person?
