We have spent the last few days in Mackay catching up with friends and family and realised just how much we miss the familiarity of our home town. Apart from eating almost every meal out (we pretty much ate around the world- Indian, Italian and Greek) we were able to fit in some last minute shopping before we left.
Mackay hasn't got the same variety of stores as our dearly beloved Townsville, but we were still impressed with the quality of the pieces we did find with some boutiques stocking, Lucette, Diesel, J Brand and Maurie and Eve.
After overpacking and a total of 8 hours spent in the car, we had ample time to discuss what we consider essentials for any traveller!
1. Comfortable clothing for drawn out periods in the car that doesn't compromise on personal style- soft denims and T-shirts that allows the easy transition from car to cafe!
2. iPod- complete with a mix of your favourite tracks of present and some golden oldies. Think Lionel Ritchie, Neil Diamond and Elton John (we will admit to listening to it!)
3. Camera- dont be afraid of taking the scenic route!
4. "Literature"- current issue of Vogue and other novels
5. Snacks. Personal favourite- Strawberry Freddo's
