Welcome to the website of Mackay–Isaac Region of North Queensland, Australia and Mackay Tourism Limited. We hope you will enjoy planning your next visit to our beautiful area of Queensland and we trust you thoroughly enjoy every day of your visit, for whatever purpose.

Getting to the Mackay Region is easy and inexpensive, and you can be assured of a warm welcome. Once here, you have an amazing range of natural features and cultural heritage to explore. Mackay city is a vibrant regional service centre set beside the mighty blue Pioneer River. The city’s Artspace, Botanic Gardens, Bluewater Trail, Orchid House and art deco architecture are just some of the attractions worth exploring. Don’t miss Mackay’s impressive Marina and beaches, they face the Coral Sea and the exquisite islands and Great Barrier Reef including Brampton, Keswick and Scawfell islands – all accessible by day cruise, charter boat or air.

Inland are the lush sugar landscape of the Pioneer Valley, Eungella National Park and the home of the platypus, and huge freshwater fishing dams. West of the Mackay Highlands with their breathtaking walks and views, the Mining Trail will lead you through our beef properties to historic towns such as Nebo and Clermont, and the awesome man-made features of the Bowen Basin coalfields.

To the south of Mackay, visit spectacular Hay Point (one of the world’s largest coal export ports), the picturesque beaches and fishing spots of Sarina and the Serenity Coast and historic St Lawrence. While to the north lies the green Hibiscus Coast including Cape Hillsborough National Park.
