MacKay.
BIG4 MacKay. Day 61.
Location
BIG4 Mackay Marine Tourist Park, LOT 379 Harbour Rd, Mackay Harbour QLD 4740, Australia
Info
Left Airlie just after 10:00am and a fairly cruisey driver to MacKay at only 150km.
Best the rush hour arrival by about an hour. We are also camped end to end with another JB Dirtroader Extreme owner.
Just relaxing today before we do stuff tomorrow. Aidyn has gone to the billabong in the caravan park trying to hook a Barra for a catch and release. ððð
No luck so far.
As much as I hate to admit it I seemed to have pickup some reaction from the zillion midge bites on my legs in Airlie. Had to go to a local Quack for some drugs. ðĪŠðĪŠðĪŠ

A Swim We Need.
Location
Bluewater Lagoon, River St, Mackay QLD 4740, Australia
Info
This a free facility from the City of MacKay. We are here on Saturday and it appear to be busy. But not that busy.
A great place for kids and family.
You can figure out why so many places have free facilities with the threat of crocs.
Either way it is still makes you envious. ððð

Inflatable Obstacles.
Location
GoWake Cable Park â Mackay, 504 Michigan, Andergrove, Mackay QLD 4740, Australia
Info
We were going to have a look at The Orchid House but it is closed on Saturdays. So we Googled for something else. ðĪðĪðĪ
And, we come across this water park. It has a Wakeboard cable circuit that is in play when the Inflatible Obsticle Course is not.
The kids were instantly asking to do it. So be it!! Hopefully, this will wear them out for tonight. ððð
As it turned out they were raving about how good it was as soon as our of the water. They wanted to do the next session as well, but we convinced them we could come back tomorrow. ððð
