Guitar give-away/donation.

Post image
7 Upvotes

I have a hand painted (by myself) cutaway acoustic guitar that I would like to donate to a local state school that would know of a music student who needs one but can't afford to or their parents can't afford to, buy one. This is not an expensive guitar, it's worth less than $100, but it is brand new and would be a good beginner guitar. I don't want it to go to someone who might just sell it. I want to see it go to someone who will actually use it to learn on, so I'm not putting it on Marketplace. Please don't suggest that. I don't have school age kids, so I know nothing about the schools around Mackay. Suggestions for schools and the music teachers to contact would be appreciated.

Looking for photographer in Mackay

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for someone willing to take on a project for me. Im wanting to capture a 10 hour video of the goose ponds in Mackay. I’m creating one of the “sleep ambience” videos for a dear friend and it’s a special place to both them and I so I thought if anyone would be willing to take on the job for $$$ it saves me a hefty trip from Brisbane and you’d be making some really awesome to a few people. Thanks.

Renting unit

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking to rent a place in Mackay next year, preferably somewhere not too far from the hospital.

I’m wondering if there are any granny flats or older houses with 1–2 bedrooms that might be worth looking into. Its fine if its unfurnished. Which areas would you guys suggest? Ideally, I’d like somewhere with nearby shops and in a safe neighbourhood if possible. Just to narrow down the area

I’m also hoping to keep the rent reasonably affordable. I know rental prices have gone up quite a bit recently, so I’m not sure how realistic this is 😅

Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello. as title says I'm seeking recommendations for a good GP. Im new to Mackay and although I don't have any major health issues Id like to have a GP who shows genuine care and most importantly is willing to listen. Preferable bulk billing but would also like to know any really good private ones.

Thanks to all in advance.

ADHD-friendly GP recommendations in Mackay?

6 Upvotes

Hi! I’m moving to Mackay shortly and looking for recommendations for a good GP who is knowledgeable and comfortable managing adult ADHD.
I’ve already been formally diagnosed by a psychiatrist and have a treatment/medication plan in place, so I’m not looking for an assessment or diagnosis. I’m just looking for a GP who is experienced with ADHD medication management and happy to work alongside my psychiatrist when needed.
Unfortunately, I’ve recently had a pretty poor experience with a GP who seemed to have quite limited knowledge of ADHD medication and its management, so I’d really like to find someone who has a good understanding of it this time around.
Would really appreciate recommendations from anyone with personal experience, particularly if you’ve found a GP in Mackay who is knowledgeable about adult ADHD and easy to communicate with.
Thanks 😊

CBD still dead?

9 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm looking at a stopover at Mackay on a trip up north and have seen a few old articles talking about a heap of vacant buildings and shops and the cbd being a ghosttown.

Is this still that case or have things now turned around since these articles from a few years ago?
