    • Mackay locals have a quirk with the English language compared to other areas.
    If you are talking to us we are likely to end our sentences with...'heh'.
    So we would say...'It's a nice day heh'. Or 'Gee it's hot heh!'. Or 'Nice day for the beach heh'.
    'We're not weird just a bit different...heh'

    • Wasn't sure where to put this but here it is anyway. There are some nice old churches throughout the town. This is the Uniting Church in Macalister St. Lovely old building which has been around for years. Actually it's where I got married!

     G'Day from the Swiss Alps! Always a great time to visit Queensland on VT pages but really hope I could come back soon, I am very tempted by the Airlie Beach meeting in 2009 ;-)
