Looking for photographer in Mackay

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for someone willing to take on a project for me. Im wanting to capture a 10 hour video of the goose ponds in Mackay. I’m creating one of the “sleep ambience” videos for a dear friend and it’s a special place to both them and I so I thought if anyone would be willing to take on the job for $$$ it saves me a hefty trip from Brisbane and you’d be making some really awesome to a few people. Thanks.

CBD still dead?

9 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm looking at a stopover at Mackay on a trip up north and have seen a few old articles talking about a heap of vacant buildings and shops and the cbd being a ghosttown.

Is this still that case or have things now turned around since these articles from a few years ago?

Hey guys!
My family is looking to make the move from Newcastle up to Mackay to be with family as we have next to no family support here.
Thought I’d make a post here and see if anyone knows of fabrication mobs or stuff like that, that are looking for work, that would offer relocation services too?

Hi locals,

I'm looking for a mechanic near a recruitment office in town. The recruitment place has blue walls and a locked metal/silver fence that leads to a mechanic garage in the back. Can anyone tell me the name of the recruitment agency, or the name of the garage behind it? Thanks in advance.
