General Gordon Mackay

We were heading to a pub stay just before Mackay - The General Gordon. The pub had recently been taken over by new owners, as recently as March this year. To entice people to stay, and to spend money, they charged $5 per person to stay on their property among the cane fields. We unhooked and headed into Mackay. After a brief stop at the information centre, we picked 3 destinations to see around the city. Two where viewing points. One a good place to spot whales, the other a great place to see over the city. The harbour was also on our list- but we could only gain access to the marina which was full of very grand large sailing/ fishing boats. Tonight we went over for dinner at the pub. The meal was all the better for the gravy over the schnitzel (bit burnt). Salad was nice. We also met the owners. It was their second marriage, and the man had left his dog behind with his previous partner. His previous dog had been a Brittany, so he became a little emotional. He stroked Frankie so lovingly. Went to the vets and picked up some tablets to protect against ticks.Read more
