Mackay's twelve venues split between the city grid and the highway. The CBD pubs sit on Victoria and Wood Streets — the Austral Hotel (about 45 machines) and Taylors among them — while Nebo Road, the Bruce Highway's run into town, carries the motor hotels like the Boomerang and the Shamrock. The biggest floors belong to the clubs: Souths Suburban Football Club runs about 126 machines and the Northern Beaches Bowls Club around 92.
Queensland Rail's Spirit of Queensland stops at Mackay station in Paget, about 5km south of the city centre (the line bypassed the CBD when it was realigned in the 1990s), so a short taxi or bus ride connects train arrivals with the Wood Street pubs.
Queensland's caps are visible all over Mackay: the pubs cluster at the 40–45 machine hotel maximum while the clubs stretch toward their 300 allowance without getting close — a mid-sized regional profile, not a mega-club town.
