Mackay Region
Each new day unveils a world of discovery, from the glistening sands of Mackay's untouched beaches to the rugged outback beauty of the Isaac District.
The Mackay Region invites explorers to step off the beaten path and uncover its many wonders. Discover breath-taking rainforests, pristine national parks, secluded islands, coral reefs, golden beaches, and charming historic towns. With its largely unspoiled landscapes, the Mackay Region offers a unique holiday escape—a peaceful and diverse retreat far from the crowds.
Positioned midway between Brisbane and Cairns, the Mackay Region spans 200 kilometres of coastline, stretching from St Lawrence in the south to Midge Point in the north and inland to Clermont. Its rich heritage is deeply rooted in sugar cane farming, mining, beef production, and agriculture.
