Travellers entering Mackay from the northwest may have noticed an unsightly addition to the Welcome to Mackay sign at the Ring Road roundabout at Glenella.
Vandals had left their mark on the sign and local residents Shelley and Phil decided to do something about it.
According to a post in the ‘Mackay Noticeboard’ Facebook Group, Porters Mitre 10 Mackay donated $140 worth of paint for Phil to paint over the graffiti, restoring the sign to its former glory.
Michelle’s Facebook post was met with mass applause.
“Great work mate and go Porters. Good to see some great Mackay spirit,” said one commenter.
“’What a good person he is’ my daughter just said. Yes you are! And so good of Porters to provide the paint to fix it too - Great community of good hearted people we have!” said another.
Shelley and Phil say they’d love to keep painting over and removing graffiti throughout Mackay, they just need the paint to do it.
