Mackay<\/strong> is the first truly tropical city on the Queensland Pacific Coast Way. A normal city, neither too big nor too small, perfect for relaxing and doing city plans without having to stress. However, we don’t recommend that you spend too much time in the city, but rather that you head out to explore the lush nature<\/strong> of its surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First there’s Eungella National Park, up into the mountains and home to platypus and deep canyons. Second is Cape Hillsborough National Park, following the coastline with eucalyptus forests, rainforests and kangaroos on its beaches. Finally there’s Cape Palmerston National Park with its rugged beauty, wilderness camping and beach driving. Yes, the true Mackay region isn\u2019t found in its buildings, but in its national parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
