Mackay History


John Mackay was the first settler to create the township within a fertile valley in otherwise dry country between Bundaberg and Townsville.
 

Mackay Today


Today Mackay also relies on a variety of other industries - beef, dairy, timber, grain, seafood and tropical fruit.
 

Eungella National Park


In the high altitudes near Mackay is Eungella National Park, where you are almost guaranteed to see a shy platypus as well as the brilliant blue Ulysses butterfly and numerous other nocturnal wildlife.
 

The Leap


Thirty minutes from the centre of Mackay on top of Mt Mandarana is a town known as The Leap. The name comes from an event in 1928. Police attempted to capture a group of Aboriginal people from the Yumi nation, but one woman refused to surrender, instead she leaped from the mountain with her baby in her arms - the rocks below killed the woman, Kowaha, but the baby lived. In the caves near the summit the remains of seafoods, mussels and oysters are still where the traditional owners used to live.
