Mackenzie, Queensland (Central Highlands)
Mackenzie is a rural locality in the Central Highlands Region, Queensland, Australia.[1] The Mackenzie River forms the eastern, northern and north-western boundary of the locality.The land in the north of the locality is lower-lying with elevations of 100 metres (330 ft) rising to higher levels of elevations of 200 metres (660 ft) in the south.[3] The locality's name presumably derives from the Mackenzie River, which in turn was named by explorer Ludwig Leichhardt on 10 January 1845, after his friend pastoralist Evan Mackenzie of Kilcoy Station.The nearest government primary school is Dingo State School in neighbouring Dingo to the south, but, due to distances, it would only be accessible to students in southern Mackenzie.
