some of the things that you need to know about Mackay. You might be looking at investing, a property investment, perhaps in Mackay, or perhaps a bit of a relocation, a bit of a sea change. So we will be finding out just how enticing for property Mackay is with our Saturday Morning Focus, which is coming up very shortly.
It's your weekend real estate breakfast, a cereal-sized podcast about what's happening in your local backyard every Saturday morning on The Real Estate Podcast.
Well, of course, yesterday, Queen Elizabeth II, a very sad day. The news on her passing, a lot of reflection. over the last 24 hours about her life and her reign of course and I wonder just how many people throughout the decades has had the honour and the privilege of meeting Queen Elizabeth II. I have never met her but if I was to tell you that I was in her company for 24 hours, you would probably say, that sounds like a tall story, but it's 100% true. Now, how did this happen, I hear you ask? Well, in 1995, I happened to be working in New Zealand radio, and we knew of somebody in Air New Zealand. And at that time in 1995, it was the only time in her reign that she ever flew on a commercial airliner.
And how this all came about was the New Zealand government decided to save money. And rather than send a plane to the UK to pick her up and to bring her back to New Zealand, they thought, well, let's fly her on an Air New Zealand commercial flight. So what they did was they took out all of the first class and they set up a bed, a writing desk, a couch, etc. So she was nice and comfortable. and that's where i got to fly with her from auckland to the uk now the flight was actually headed for frankfurt germany and the germans had no idea so when they first arrived you got a piece of paper saying that tonight i think the flight left at 8 30 tonight you will be flying with her majesty the queen And I'll never forget when we touched down in Los Angeles, the amount of police cars escorting us into the gate.
And then, of course, on to Heathrow. She was the only person that got off at Heathrow, and then the plane took off and went to Frankfurt. So that was my encounter with Queen Elizabeth II.

All right. Let's go around Australia and check on your weather on this Saturday morning. First, we go to Sydney, expecting possible afternoon showers today. Not a great start for the weekend, a high of 22 degrees. In Melbourne, expecting showers and 15 is your forecast high. Brisbane is the place to be with sunshine, blue skies and 27 degrees and in Perth today also a mainly fine and sunny day expecting a high of 22 degrees.
We are just as addicted to property as you are. It's the Real Estate Podcast across Australia, seven days a week.
Well, Mackay, it's around 970 k's north of Brisbane. A quick geography lesson in case you didn't know where that was. It's the sugar capital of Australia where almost a third of Australia's sugar is produced. It's close to the Mackay Wood Sunday region and possibly the perfect spot to relocate to.
