A Note from Me 🤍
After a lot of reflection, I’ve made the decision to finish up Mingle Minis Tours in the format we’ve been operating.
This hasn’t been an easy call — but it feels like the right one.
Over the past almost three years, Mingle Minis Tours grew faster than I could have imagined. What started as a little idea became an incredible local tourism offering here in Mackay — one that I’m so deeply proud of.
✨ Over 2,000 guests hosted on our minibus
✨ A Mackay Isaac Tourism Award win
✨ Lifelong friendships with local businesses and customers
✨ And the absolute joy of delivering epic experiences weekend after weekend
I’ve also been juggling a young family, a husband who works away, and my day job — and like many small businesses, we’ve felt the shift in booking patterns.
We’ve also seen first-hand how challenging the current tourism landscape can be — with weather extremes, shifting travel habits and tighter household budgets impacting how and when people choose to explore locally.
I love Mackay, and I’ve been so proud to shine a light on the amazing small businesses that call this region home. I truly believe there is so much potential here, and I hope to see Mackay continue to evolve as a destination where experiences like this can thrive long-term.
With a noticeable decline in tour bookings, the behind-the-scenes hours, logistics, admin and overheads are no longer sustainable in this current format.
None of this takes away from how successful, special and meaningful this chapter has been.
I want to say a huge thank you to Maria and Linda, who shared my passion and trusted me — and who delivered the Mingle experience with heart, humour and professionalism every single weekend.
While Mingle Minis Tours is wrapping up, Mingle Events Co. is not going anywhere. I’m excited to scale back, focus on family and travel, and take the time to reimagine what the next chapter of Mingle looks like.
✨ Watch this space. ✨
We do still have a handful of tours running until March, and I’d absolutely love to welcome:
• those who’ve always meant to come along
• and our returning guests who want to experience it one last time
