Mackay to most people is a town that is out of the way and therefore not a real attraction as part of the Queensland tours. My line of thinking is that because Mackay is an out of the way town that it is one of the best places to visit hen you are traveling up and down the Queensland coast. Being isolated from the rest of the world for little periods at a time means that for just a small while there is little to worry about except what you are going to do to fill your days off. Personally I like to take a small boat for a sail around the bays and then drop in a few fishing lines to see what there is to catch. After a hard days fishing I go to the local bar and have a delicious counter meal and a few beers before I go for a long walk along the beach front.

Flying is the only way to travel for me so that there is no time wasted traveling the long dusty roads to and from your destination. After I leave the plane I search for the car hire MacKay airport reception desk and pick up the car I booked online before I left for my trip. There is always something to do in the small towns and usually there is something unique that no other place has to offer. Don’t be put off by the thought that a town that is not bombarded with tourist information is not going to be any fun because often this is not true at all.
