3 Best Landmarks in Mackay, QLD

Built in 1915. Developed by Albert Cook on the cattle run first taken up by Mackay pioneer Captain John Mackay, Greenmount was gifted to the city by the Cook family in 1983 and is held in trust by Mackay Regional Council. The day was an absolute joy. I loved going back in time, seeing all the collections of different items the Cook family had used over the years. The photos do not do it justice.

Our experience here surpassed our expectations. They gave us a tour, and a private one because there was nobody else at that time, and all the details regarding this homestead were fascinating. Walking around such a historical place for Mackay and Queensland was super interesting. We highly recommend this visit.

Saw this before the pandemic. It is fantastic to see living history. I wish this country did more to save its built heritage. France is the most visited country in the world thanks to them saving theirs.
