In recent weeks, parcels have mistakenly ended up at the wrong addresses, prompting the local community to unite in an effort to return these items.
Among these incidents, Anneliese experienced a delivery mishap when her parcel, intended for Moranbah, was mistakenly delivered to Slade Point without a signature.
The confusion stemmed from Australia Post, as both Mackay and Moranbah have many identical street names.
Local commenters on Facebook community pages took action to identify the parcel's intended recipient, with individuals volunteering their assistance.
Comments included, “I can post on the local Slade Point page for you.”
“I could call past and knock tomorrow?”
“I am travelling from Mackay tomorrow morning, if you find it and need it brought to you.”
The search concluded on a positive note with, "I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all who offered their assistance. I'm happy to report that the parcel has been located."
Great work, Mackay!
