Mackay’s BEST Hidden Gems… Sailing Whitsundays
Welcome back aboard Moor R & R! Episode 17
This episode is packed with adventures as we explore the many surprises Mackay has to offer before heading off on our next sail.
We start in the heart of Mackay at Fifth Lane, wandering through vibrant street art and colourful murals — the talent here is incredible! Then it’s off to the Sandfly Creek Environmental Reserve, where we ride through changing landscapes of mangroves, saltmarsh, wetlands, and open pathways. Such a hidden gem!
Next, we hire a car and drive 70km west into the lush rainforest of Eungella National Park. Our goal: the two breathtaking waterfalls and rock pools of Finch Hatton Gorge. The hikes are beautiful, the scenery is lush, and the swim at the end is absolutely worth every step — crystal-clear, refreshing, and surrounded by towering rainforest.
From there, we fly down to Sydney for four big days at the Sydney Boat Show in Darling Harbour, showcasing our Kick N Bak FLOATS. After a busy weekend, we’re back on the boat to restock, reset, and tick off a few jobs before setting sail on our next adventure.
