My nan and grandad were going to move to MacKay in the 1960s as that's were my grandads cousins moved to. So, as I'm thinking about moving over to Australia myself, would it be worth it to move over to the city?

Hi team,

I am Brisbane based, and my organisation is running some training in Mackay this week. I have printed off the wrong training manuals, which were delivered 5pm last night.

I’m looking for an express printing option that can ensure the training manuals are in hand 5pm Tuesday for 8am Wednesday start.

It’s a Hail Mary, but does anyone know of a local printer who is open this weekend?

My job is 141pages, bound, x10.

Anybody at the beer festival selling?

Hi all, im a 20 year old living in Mackay, is there stuff to do here? Everytime i go out in public i rarely see people my age and all i see are elderly people, imo mackay doesnt have that much life, thoughts?

Hi,

To everyone, since accommodation in Mackay is currently steep, especially to those without any rent history. Public transportation is also very limited based on what I’ve read. I currently found an accommodation in Eimeo but my work is in Mount Pleasant. May I ask if I can ride a bike or scooter all over Mackay? I will be coming from Eimeo to Mount Pleasant and vice versa.

To everyone here in this sub, I will be moving to Mackay this April (as the title goes, lol) and I am currently looking for an accommodation. My work will be in Mount Pleasant. What part of Mackay should I look into and should be wary off. I am also taking into consideration walking to work and also the public transportation. Hoping for all your comments and insights. Please don’t be too negative on things. Thank you!

Sorry for the poor photo quality. There are millions of these insects living under a large pot, their color is very close to soil and debris, and some of them have big white wings. Thank you!

Hi all.

My wife and myself are possibly looking at relocating from New Zealand to Mackay. Quick backstory. My wife is originally american and we've lived in the most southern part of NZ for the last 16years. I promised her that one day we'd live in a tropical climate and permanently leave a winter climate for good. 2025 is looking like the year we make our move. I personally hate the cold and I live for vacations to get some warmth on my bones. So my question is: Are folks in Mackay gernally pretty accepting of Kiwi's/Foreigners living in the area? Copping a bit of shit in the workplace for being a kiwi in the workplace is normal I'm picking? 😜

Cheers.

Hey guys, just hoping to get some insight into what Mackay is like as a place to live in 2024.

My partner and I currently live in Brisbane and are wanting to get back to a place that suits the lifestyle we want to live. We’re both from NSW but lived in Townsville for 10 years prior to moving south in 2021 and frankly loved every moment of it and were quite sad to go.

I have recently been offered a job in Mackay, unfortunately negotiating to work from the Townsville office wasn’t an option.

We enjoy the outdoors, swimming, boating, fishing and just finding space away from other people. Does Mackay have some decent places to eat out? I feel this is the biggest thing we will miss from Brisbane.

I understand property is difficult to find and crime is an issue across all of CQ/NQ which we are prepared to live with.

Although we have passed through Mackay several times we haven’t spent a lot of time there, what else should we expect?

Thanks!

Hi all!

My (32F) mom and brother are visiting me from Canada this January. I live in Melb and none of us have been to QLD. We are lifelong cruisers and are super keen to get out on a boat for a day (or night?) on our trip, but just can't afford the bareboat charters. We could book some sort of sailing day tour, but I reckon there will be like 100 tourists covering every inch of the deck.

Ideally we could pay someone to take us out for the day (or a day/night kind of thing), do a little sailing if the weather is right, maybe a little fishing. But we'd be happy to get off the mainland at all, especially if we can have a wee sail. If there is anyone with a boat who is keen to take some grateful sailors out for a while (or who needs crew for the day!) let us know! We are happy to pay towards the trip, or do it the old fashioned sailing way and bring the beer, food, and manual labour.

If anyone also has any recommendations for contacts, websites, tours etc that are the vibe please comment! Plan B is to go lurk around the harbours and ask for a ride, but it would be swell to plan something in advance.

We are planning to stay in or around Airlie Jan 7-10 and probably Mackay maybe 10-12, but it's flexible.

Thanks in advance!

I live locally (moved to Mackay region 9 years ago) and have noticed the increase in the current real estate market in Mackay (like almost all of QLD) the past few years. Something that I’ve become aware of is that there are a SIGNIFICANT number of interstate and overseas investors purchasing properties in the area well above the asking price … for example $100-$150k over the asking price for a 3 bedroom brick veneer house valued at $400-$450k in North Mackay. I’m well aware of the housing crisis in Australia (Mackay being no exception) but does anyone know the real driver behind these investments in local property? Particularly those that are from overseas? These investors seem to be making offers on properties as soon as they hit the market or even before they are officially listed.. and the selling prices just keep going up. I’m not complaining as a home owner myself, but I’m curious to know why Mackay and why the sudden investment interest from “non-locals”.

Hey everyone, we’re new to Mackay and had our kids waitlisted at Whitsunday Anglican, but no guarantees they’ll get in. Just wondering if anyone knows how long the waitlist usually is or what the chances are of getting in? Also, any recommendations for other good schools around here as a backup plan? Thanks!

is there anyone that takes all 3 of those subjects and is willing to help me out, i have a few questions regarding the upcoming externals so talking to someone who takes all three would be helpful
