It’s not every day Mackay motorists expect to share the road with a horse, but last week, locals were treated to a sight straight out of a country comedy.
A Palomino horse was spotted on the loose, wearing a coat and making a stylish dash through the Gooseponds and surrounding streets.
One local motorist stepped into the role of unlikely hero, later taking to a community page to explain the unusual driving behaviour witnessed by many commuters.
“Apologies to everyone I just cut off, stopped in front of and drove radically around the Gooseponds and surrounding streets… I was helping some poor lady find her run away horse. We can confirm Makybe diva has been found!"
The post quickly trotted its way through local feeds, delivering laughs alongside reassurance that the well-travelled horse had been safely found.
For those who witnessed a coat-clad horse, a determined woman in riding boots, or some questionable early-morning manoeuvres, Mackay can rest easy knowing it was all in the name of a good cause, and a very memorable morning!

Gabrielle McCarthy entered Season 7 of Love Island Australia as a Bombshell, and left the Villa as a nation-wide fan favourite, capturing the hearts of viewers with her bubbly personality and infectious energy.
After growing up in Mackay, 21-year-old Gabby moved to the sun-soaked shores of the Gold Coast to peruse her career as an influencer and content creator where she shares videos and photos of her life across multiple social media channels.
Gabby was flown out of the country to indulge in a European-Summer, Love Island Australia style, in August of 2025, after being cast in the show’s seventh consecutive season.
Season 7 of Love Island Australia was filmed in Mallorca, Spain and made its debut on the 27th of October 2025. Presented by Sophie Monk and comically narrated by Eoghan McDermott, the reality-cross-competition style television show involves several contestants who are searching for love over the course of the 29-episode season.
Contestants, also referred to as Islanders, must initially couple up with another Islander at the beginning of the season, however several re-couplings tend to take place as new contestants, known as Bombshells, enter the Villa. In the show’s grand finale, the winning couple, as determined by the votes of the public, typically take home $50,000 and of course, waves of exposure that often leads to brand deals and countless other opportunities.
Gabby entered the Villa as the season’s first Bombshell on day one and was the first Islander to quit the dating show solo, taking herself out of the $50,000 competition on episode 27 after spending 22 days in the Villa. It’s speculated that her split with her Love Island ex, Jotham Russell, heavily influenced her decision to leave after a surprise switch left Gabby single while Jotham re-coupled on day 15.
Throughout her time on the show, Gabby certainly left her mark, however, she was turning heads even before she entered the Love Island Villa and had over 141,000 followers on TikTok and approximately 86,000 on Instagram. Since her Spanish screentime, Gabby’s fanbase has skyrocketed to over 248,000 followers on Instagram, and 362,300 on TikTok.
Post-Villa, Gabby has continued to follow the flow of her rising fame, creating content with Love Island co-star, turned best friend, Yana Marks across her socials. Over her 27 episodes of airtime, Gabby racked up several iconic moments, including one on-screen altercation with a co-star that produced the now viral quote, “If you guys think I’m here for clout, I’ve already got the clout back home. Just so you know.”, which has been used in over 10,000 videos posted to TikTok.
Gabby has rapidly projected into the higher tiers of the Aussie Influencer space since leaving the Season 7 Love Island Australia Villa, and even though her screentime ended before the finale, her impact and influence has undeniably earnt her a place amongst this generation’s most iconic creators.

An immense talent is set to perform at the Airlie Beach Hotel. Internationally renowned American singer Lisa Hunt leads with an impressive resume, designed to leave any music fan amazed. Initally beginning as a gospel singer, Lisa Hunt has sold more than a million albums as both a singer and songwriter, having performed across the globe for many decades.
She has performed along the likes of Australian legends Jimmy Barnes, Diesel, Midnight Oil as well international superstars Eric Clapton, James Brown, Dionne Warwick, Brian May, Randy Crawford, Joe Cocker, Miles Davis and Andrea Bocelli.
With an extensive history of performing alongside some of the world's greatest artists, the Airlie Beach Hotel is absolutely thrilled to have her onboard to perform a series of FREE shows on January 17th and 18th from 2pm onwards.
Get on down to the Airlie Beach Hotel for some spellbinding sets of tightly crafted, well performed eclectic music by Australia's leading soul singer. There will be old school gospel, RnB Blues, Motown and much more. Her powerful magnetic voice will provide the perfect ambience for a beautiful Whitsundays evening. Prepare for style, talent and lots of fun.
This is not a show you will want to miss.
