And The Memory Remains

Perched on the edge of The Great Barrier Reef, the city of Mackay is often thought of as being a sweet, peaceful little place that is the perfect place to grow up and raise a family.

We have beaches, we have rainforests, we have mountains and cane fields- and we have a very low crime rate compared to most other places.

It is hard to imagine that somewhere this perfect and new that is usually drenched in sunlight could ave a dark history, but that's not true. like every other city in the world, unspeakable things have happened here and those dark spots in our past have cast cold shadows over our region- shadows that reach into the deepest corners of the oldest houses, and have forever stained the ground where blood has been shed or tears have fallen.

And those shadows want you to know that they're there.

Here are just some of their stories.
