Mackay

Some of the must-see attractions in Mackay include the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens, the Bluewater Lagoon, Eungella National Park, and the beautiful beaches like Lamberts Beach and Bucasia Beach. Don't miss the opportunity to explore the city's art galleries and enjoy the local markets.

The best time to visit Mackay is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. The weather is generally sunny and pleasant, ideal for outdoor activities. However, Mackay enjoys a subtropical climate, so you can visit year-round, but be prepared for higher humidity and occasional rain during the wet season (November to April).

Mackay is easily accessible by car, and renting a car is a great way to explore the region at your own pace. Public transport options include buses, but they may not reach all attractions. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also available. For exploring the city center, walking or cycling are good options.
