Hey everyone... Well me and my boyfriend are planning a move to Mackay queensland in the next few months. Were moving from the UK. Does anyone know lots about the place, or have any general advice about living in Australia? Ive only ever lived in Europe Also i was wondering...we are vegans. Are there usually health food stores around that will sell specialist foods, soya based foods etc? Anyway just thought id say hi really...were very excited! -Maxi
Hi, We have health food shops here that cater to vegans. I don't know how our health food shops will compare in terms of variety. Supermarkets here usually also have a "health food" section but don't expect much. I went to school with someone who is vegan and I knew a few vegans at uni so it isn't impossible to find food. Fresh fruit markets are worth checking out if you can find them. Alcohol will be a problem. I don't live in queensland so I can't be more specific.
the bigger towns in far north queensland will have these kinds of shops, i've just moved into this area recently from sydney . its darned hot here at the moment and threatening cyclones not sure about mackay mackay was a bit weird when we went through there last year, alot of people hanging around in the shopping precinct not doing much.
mackay most likely wont have much in the way of vegan wholefood stores. is there a reason why u chose mackay in particular? i would recommend going a bit further north to towsnville or cairns... far more variety there, a younger population, and just funner in general!
