8 days in Mackay Itinerary

Mackay is a city and its centre suburb in the Mackay Region on the eastern coast of Queensland, Australia. Change things up with these side-trips from Mackay: Cape Hillsborough National Park (in Cape Hillsborough), Eungella (Eungella National Park, Eungella Dam, &more) and Proserpine (Proserpine Museum & Cedar Creek Falls). There's still lots to do: cool off at Bluewater Lagoon, take in the exciting artwork at Artspace Mackay, take in nature's colorful creations at Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens, and explore the landscape on two wheels at Bluewater Trail.

For reviews, more things to do, maps, and other tourist information, refer to the Mackay trip planner.

Expect a daytime high around 26°C in July, and nighttime lows around 16°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 9th (Thu) to allow time to travel back home.
