Bird watching at the Gardens
Why not enjoy bird watching at one of Mackay's best areas - just 4 kms to the city centre? The Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens offer a range of habitats - from the waterways and fringing grass and sedgelands of the lagoons, to adjacent gardens and small forested settings.
Watch Sunbirds dart amongst the flowers, view flocks of Magpie Geese roosting on the lagoon flats, Whistling Ducks feeding amongst the waterlillies - even enjoy the ubiquitous Kookaburras nesting each spring under the pink flowering Cassia in the Tropical Shade Garden.
