Road Tripping the Mackay Region

There’s nothing better than hitting the open road and exploring somewhere new… even more so if you can do it from the comfort and ease of an RV.  So when the opportunity to explore the Mackay region in our very own Maui Motorhome came up, we jumped on it.  On our epic 5 day road …
