Mackay 17 September 2014

After a hearty breakfast with Deb and Kim, we said goodbye and continued our trip south. The weather is still very warm and we don’t want to go too far south into the cold. Drove through Home Hill and Ayr and stopped outside Proserpine for lunch and then camped at Mackay by the Pioneer River, in a very quiet spot with a few other campers. Mackay seems to get busier each time we visit it with new apartment blocks going up beside the river. Unlike Bowen, they have kept the new shopping centre close to the CBD and that seems to have kept the centre alive.
