Tonight, if you’re anywhere near the MECC, you will be hearing a lot of cheering and fun.
No, the kids at Central State School aren’t having a school disco. All the noise and fun will be a part of the Mackay Isaac Tourism Awards.
This annual gala night will have hundreds of legends all glammed up as we celebrate what we have in our beautiful Mackay Isaac region.
From the coffee houses around Mackay, to the sporting facilities in the Northern Beaches, to the walking mountain trails in Clermont, to the beach visits at Bucasia and also the ever popular restaurants and bars in the whole region. They will all be part of this great night.
When you think of it, we have a lot to be thankful for living in our Mackay Isaac region.
We have the beaches at our back doorsteps. We have beautiful mountains to climb like Mt Blackwood, The Leap and Wolfang Peak just to name a few. They are all brilliant. If you haven’t climbed them yet, go and see one of our volunteers at our visitor information centres around town.
What about the beaches? So many to pick from. Seaforth is beautiful. So is Platypus Beach, Bucasia, Sarina and Far Beach too. Don’t forget to ask the locals about when the tide is in especially at Town Beach. If you go at the wrong time, you could be walking quite a while before you hit water. Just saying.
We have some of the best nature experiences in the world right here. From rainforests to clear river streams, to platypus having a swim at Eungella, to sipping rum at the only council owned rum distillers in the world. Yes! We have it lucky and tonight they will all be thanked for promoting this region to the world at our gala night of nights.
Before I go and head off and get my suit ready for the party tonight, I’d personally like to thank each and every one of our volunteers who go out of their way to promote where we live. We are all ambassadors. We are all advertisers. We are the people who make or break our region.
Let’s shout it to the rooftops and tell Australia and the rest of the world. Come to the Mackay Isaac Region and have a holiday. Better still, move here. You won’t regret it.
I’ll see you all tonight! Good luck everyone!
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK on iHeartRadio!
