13 March 2013 – Mackay



We searched high and low today trying to find something of interest in Mackay.  We started at the marina and yes it was pretty but surely there had to be more.  Back in the car we drove around a few of the towns but there was nothing that really caught our eye so we went to the local shops and picked up some rolls for lunch and then went to find a park to sit in.  Josh had found a free local pool, Bluewater Lagoon, in the centre of town pretty similar to what you also find in Cairns and it was a great spot.  It had a couple of lagoon style pools as well as a great kids’ area.  We spent a few hours here before trying to find more in Mackay.  In the centre of town we found the information centre but get this – it was shut.  We couldn’t win this one.  We wandered around town and even considered going into the local police station and asking for a tour…  Instead we just went back to the pool and made the most of the sunny weather before returning to the caravan for dinner and prepared to leave this boring place.
