In the Morning: Make tracks from Mackay to Cape Hillsborough. Swap the city for Cape Hillsborough National Park, a destination where the only three Rs you need to know are: rainforests ‘roos (and agile wallabies) and rocky headlands. Point your bonnet toward Cape Hillsborough, 50 kilometre north-east of Mackay's city centre, following signs to Seaforth, taking the Bruce Highway via The Leap. You’ll know you’re getting close as the verdant sugar cane fields give way to rugged mountain scenery - packed with rainforest, eucalypt forest and hoop pines. If there’s one stop you must make along the way, it's The Organic and Natural Store at The Leap, which stocks everything from hand-woven African baskets to groceries – handy if you’re self-catering tonight.
