Never for one minute did I expect to wind up living in a little town like Mackay but now that I have been here for a while I see that it is just like any other beach town but it is just out of the way of the main cities. This was the appeal that interested me the most, the idea of getting out of the smog filled city and finding a comfortable out of the way place where I could see the ocean and do my paintings.

Mackay was the perfect spot to find with complete waterfront access with all the water activities that most beach towns have to offer. There is a tropical rain forest not far away which is a great place to take a nature hike or go looking for wildlife. After several years of this lifestyle I will never want to go back to the rampage of the big towns. Life is meant to be taken slowly and enjoyed to the utmost.
