1. Mackay

   Mackay is a city on the eastern coast of Queensland, Australia. It is located about 970 kilometres north of Brisbane, on the Pioneer River. Mackay is nicknamed the sugar capital of Australia because its region produces more than a third of Australia's cane sugar. There is controversy about the location of the region for administrative purposes, with most people referring to it as a part of either Central Queensland or North Queensland, though much confusion still lies within the Queensland Government, with government services being provided through both Townsville and Rockhampton. Generally, the area is known as the Mackay–Whitsunday Region.
