Journey to the Mackay region and surround yourself in Queensland's natural beauty. Australia's largest continuous stretch of subtropical rainforest, spectacular National Parks, breathtaking mountains and gorges, historic townships, miles of golden beaches, tropical islands and, of course the enchanting world of the Great Barrier Reef.
It's all here, waiting for discovery located halfway between Brisbane and Cairns with activities and accommodation to suit all budgets.
Things to do in the Mackay region:
* The Eungella National Park is a wonderful
spot to view the world's most unusual creature, the elusive
duck billed platypus. Dawn and dusk are the best times to catch
the creature swimming and playing in its natural environment.
* Visit Queensland's oldest tropical inland
town Clermont, which is the country's largest exporter of steaming
coal.
* Step aboard a de Havilland float plane and
find yourself exploring exotic corals and marine life 40 minutes
later.
* Visit Dame Nellie Melba's original home near
Mackay.
