    Hi

    I live in Moranbah but invest in Mackay.  I come into Mackay once or twice a month but I always have both my young kids and never a babysitter.  So its impossible to catch up. 

    But there is another guy on here from Mackay and I think his username is Ash.  So if he doesnt reply to this thread maybe look him up on here and send him a message? 

    Otherwise I would have liked to chat.  Sorry about that!  Oh the joys of being a mother to lil kiddies :)

    Good luck!

    Hello Mackay people.

    We are considering moving to Mackay in about 3 years.  We are looking at purchasing an investment property there in the meantime, so that we have a PPOR ready for when we move, and so that we get a foot hold in that particular market.  I could really use a contact who can advise me on what are the better areas to live in and the worse areas to live in, schools, employment etc.  We have our own business at the moment and want to stay with it for a few more years because it is good $, but we want to go to a bigger town for the kids education (we live in a very small outback town at the moment).  When we move, we are not sure yet what we are going to do for a living.  One idea is for me to work in Real Estate, as I really like real estate and have had success in sales in the past.  Another idea is for hubby to go into the mines, but with no mining experience, we are not sure what opportunities there will be for him.  A friend says that in the next few years there will be opportunities for inexperienced people to get into the mines as there are quite a few new projects planned.

    Anyone with any useful local knowledge, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Particularly, a local RE agent told me (yeah I know, never listen to what an agent says and hence me trying to get more info) that while during the economic downturn Mackay values took a bit of a hit, the RE market is well on the road to recovery with very high buyer interest and next to zero bargains available.  Any comments?

    TIA
    S
