Mackay Laneway Project

For Mackay's tag artists, the city is their canvas. Download the Zappar app, step into this alleyway and aim your phone at the barcodes provided to make the psychedelic mandala and a host of rainforest animals come to life.

This is part of the city's Art Walk; pick up a brochure from the tourist information centre to locate all the sculptures and murals that dot the city centre.
