Car Rental Mackay
- Cheap Discount Car Hire - Special Deals and Offers
The prosperity of this go-ahead tropical North Queensland city grew
along with the vast sugar cane plantations which have made the region
Australia's sugar capital. One-third of our sugar crop is grown around
here, and Mackay has the world's largest sugar-loading jetty, as
well as one of the country's biggest artificial ports.
You can trace Mackay's fascinating development on the city heritage walk which
embraces such 100-year-old, National Trust-listed buildings as the police station,
court house and Commonwealth Bank. A visit to Greenmount House, 18km west of
the city, gives a glimpse of pioneer life on the land.
In the modern city, heritage buildings sit cheek-by-jowl with sculptures, plaques,
mosaic tiles and brilliantly flowering trees and palms which celebrate life in
the Queensland tropics. Increasingly, Mackay's tourism industry is growing in
stature as the city promotes itself as a major gateway to Great Barrier Reef
islands like Lindeman, Brampton, Hamilton, and the Whitsunday group. Mackay is
336 km north of Rockhampton.
Festivals: Festival of the Arts (July), Sugartime Festival (September)
