Mackay
Home to Australia’s longest stretch of sub-tropical rainforest, explore untouched nature and the region’s breathtaking national parks.
A trip to Mackay promises natural encounters that make you feel like you’re chartering your own adventure – whether it be exploring secluded beaches, discovering tropical islands just offshore or hiking its famous hinterland.

Townsville
From the Great Barrier Reef and its tropical islands, to the lush rainforests and World Heritage listed national parks, the once quiet coastal town has merged into a modern metropolis. It’s a place to discover, appreciate and immerse in nature.
Long known as a military base, the Townsville region today remains home to one of the country’s largest army barracks, as the official home of Australia’s 3rd and 11th Brigades. But it’s thanks to this influx of army personnel and their families that the city has prospered – the town today is Australia’s largest urban centre north of the Sunshine Coast.
