Dear Listers After an absence of nearly 12 months from the net and a sojourn from Brisbane for two years I am back to Mackay and I have reconnected. It is great to be back! I am the Publicity Officer / Registrar for the Mackay Historical Society and Museum Incorporporated and sometime research officer. I just wish to advise everybody that if they have any queries on Mackay History or early pioneers to ask me. I will try to help as much as I can using our sources and if unable to will try to redirect your enquiry to the local organization which may be able to help. I cannot guarantee a prompt reply due to work commitments but I will endeavour to process your requests as soon as possible. Hopefully trying to set up a web site for the Society and Greenmount Historic Homestead which we manage, in the near future.
