Mackay - Sydney Street in the 1870s
Will’s Hotel was situated on the corner of Sydney Street and Victoria Street. An early description of the hotels in Mackay written by George Perkins maintains that the buildings:
‘Are on the whole, of superior arrangement and style; and if I may be permitted here to say so, are managed in most cases, by proprietors who are superior to those usually found in small towns in their anxiety for the well being of their guests, and the accommodation is comfortable and homely.’
