Mackay anyone?
Well after moving to Brisbane from the UK, losing my job quickly and trying seemingly in vain to find another job on a 457 I gave up hope and started looking for flights home.
However, today I returned home to find a job offer in my in-box from an interview I had ages ago in Mackay. I've only seen the place briefly before and after the interview, so wondered if anyone could give me any advice on how the place is likely to shape up for a single mid-30s fella with a liking for the odd beer
and a love of Premiership football.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Adam

Single bloke, footy, beer, Mackay probably right up your alley
Rough, hot, boring for female, blokey type of place. You could always give it a go for a month or so then go home??

Re: Mackay anyone?
Nice beaches, not much else going on. I'm not sure about being single as I have children so don't venture into the town at night that much. When I have been out it seems the same as any other town, young adults out having fun. Just found the place rather boring.
