HOW TO GET AROUND MACKAY

Your Greyhound bus to Mackay will drop you at the Caltex service station on the corner of Victoria Street and Tennyson Street.

Mackay is a fantastic city to explore on foot or by bicycle, thanks to the Bluewater Trail Project. The project includes more than 20km (12mi) of dedicated pedestrian paths and bikeways, and links several attractions around the city, including the Bluewater Lagoon, Bluewater Quay and Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens.

Walking around Mackay will also give you a chance to explore the city’s beautifully preserved heritage-listed sites, including the old Town Hall and an impressive amount of art deco-inspired architecture.

Mackay Transit Coaches team with TransLink to provide public bus services, with stops throughout the city and surrounding suburbs like Mackay’s Northern beaches, Walkerston and Sarina. You can plan your travel around the city with TransLink’s Journey Planner.

Car hire services operate within the city, and cabs are available from taxi ranks at all major shopping centres (or by booking a pick-up on the phone or online).

There are also a number of tourism operators in the Mackay region. To join a tour to a Mackay attraction that interests you, head to the Mackay Visitor Information Centre (320 Nebo Road).
