Hay Point
Multiple Locations

Description

Hay Point lies just south of Mackay. This region may be one of the world's greatest sugar growing areas, yet two lengthy jetties have nothing to do with the sugar industry. It's from here that the efforts of coal miners in the Bowen Basin have their results shipped out. One of the jetties is 4 kilometres long, making it the longest coal loading jetty in the Southern Hemisphere and the second largest in the world. The second jetty is only a small one, it's 3 kilometres in length.

You'll get a good view of Hay Point and Dalrymple Bay at the lookout just past the Louisa Creek turnoff. You'll probably catch some of the action as workers are at it, creating a third jetty.
