Mount Mackay is a locality in the Cassowary Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[1] In the, Mount Mackay had "no people or a very low population".
The Mount Mackay National Park fully occupies the locality. It forms part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland, a World Heritage Site.
The mountain Mount Mackay is at the south-west of the locality and stands at 724m (2,375feet) above sea level. In the centre of the locality the elevation falls to 10m (30feet) in the valley of Carmoo Creek, and then rises towards the Tam O'Shanter Range at the north-east of the locality, with two peaks on the boundary itself: Mount Tam O'Shanter 381m (1,250feet) and Mount Douglas 339m (1,112feet). The national park provides a safe habitat for the mahogany glider and the southern cassowary.[2]
The locality takes its name from the mountain. In 2005, the Mount Mackay National Park was created from the Mount Mackay State Forest.
