Mackay is a city on the eastern coast of Queensland, Australia, on the banks of the Pioneer River. The city is close to several tourist attractions including Eungella National Park, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Whitsunday Islands. The Bluewater Trail project links several new attractions and tourism pieces around the city including the Bluewater Lagoon, the Bluewater Quay and the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens. The city is home to the Mackay Festival of Arts held annually throughout July, and is the largest regional arts festival in Queensland. It features wine and cheese tasting, live jazz and other music, stand-up routines, art exhibitions, dance and other performances.

A nice alternative to the tourist-filled resort towns, Mackay is a popular base for exploring the nearby Great Barrier Reef.
