Mackay City

Mackay is full of interesting shopping, dining and entertainment options, colourful markets and a lively arts scene. Artspace Mackay is the city's award winning regional art gallery and museum. Its diversity offers the chance to experience the works of local artists and learn about the region's heritage past.

Discover the newly established Mackay Region Botanical Gardens, observe the fascinating and rare flora of the Central Queensland Coast bio-region, wander through its cultural precincts and learn about local history and exciting projects on the horizon for the gardens. Locals and visitors alike love the impressive Mackay Marina Village. Within five minutes drive north of the city centre, a meal or drinks at one of a growing number of restaurants lining the marina esplanade is a must for anyone visiting the city. Dine alfresco to soak up the sunshine, whilst enjoying superb views across the marina and nearby islands.
