Mackay

Rainforest, mountains, gorges, estuarine streams, beaches, islands and the Great Barrier Reef are just some of the attractions of Mackay. The weather is superb all year round in this tropical region - temperatures in the warmer months range from 22 to 30c and winter temperatures range from 12 to 22°c. The waters temperature of the region vary from 20 to 24°c.

There are some nice beaches where the rainforest grows right up to the waters edge, and waters sports are a main feature of Mackay. Just a short boat ride away you have beautiful islands with their own beaches. Past the islands is the Great Barrier Reef and you may visit the reef on a day trip to experience the unique beauty of this natural wonder.
