City SightsThere really is MORE to Mackay than meets the eye and we suggest you make the MOST of your visit! Mackay's tropical city centre is a hive of colour and activity. Dine alfresco, shop the boutique stores or for the night owls - mingle with the locals at the busy bars and nightclubs. Take the self guided Heritage Walk past 20 lovingly restored heritage listed buildings, and admire Queensland's best collection of art deco architecture. The mighty blue Pioneer River is a Mackay icon and can be viewed from the Blue River Boardwalk and rotunda. Sunday morning markets in the city centre are popular and there are plenty of more shopping choices at Canelands Central and Mount Pleasant Greenfields Shopping Centres. Striking Artspace Mackay is the city's modern art gallery and museum. It hosts an alternating range of local, national and international displays. The developing Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens is one of Australia's newest and most innovative botanic gardens. Featuring flora and land forms from the Central Queensland bio-region, the gardens surrounds the scenic Lagoons and will continue to grow over the next 15 years. Join a free guided walk or relax on the deck at the casual café, overlooking the lagoons.
