Mackay 21 June 2005

We left Airlie Beach after a night of good rain - skies still very grey. Went back to Proserpine and had a good look around. We enjoyed our drive to MacKay. It was very busy due to the Agricultural Show which is surprisingly on Tues, Wed, Thurs. Heather was speaking to some local girls and asked about the show. They urged her to go as it was only $8 for pensioners!! The town is a lot bigger than we thought and surrounded on three sides by mangrove swamps. Went down a busy secondary road over an old bridge and came to 3.3 m height restriction at the last moment. No drama but a reminder to be careful. No warnings before we got to it, mind you.
