The highlight of today was a visit to Mackay which has several Art Deco buildings that have been painted and restored as well as a lot of street art. Several of the towns in this area have been destroyed at various times by cyclones and the rebuilt from wood in the 1920's in Art Deco style concrete. Mackay has really promoted itself and whilst Rob was taking photos he was stopped by one of the council employees who had worked on the restorations to ask if we were enjoying his work. A little way down the road we were stopped again by someone originally from Bradford who took our photo by one of the pieces of art (on Rob's camera).
Tonight we stayed in Bowen - a less than impressive fishing port !
