ATTRACTIONS
Mackay Festival of the Arts?
Artspace Mackay, which opened in 2003 is one of Queensland’s finest museums. Even the building itself is a piece of art. Admission is free. After you have taken a loo through, head over to an art workshop and learn a few tricks yourself.
Eungella National Park is home to the very cute Australian platypus. This is a great place to explore nature, go for a bushwalk, have a picnic, and relax among the trees.
