The Great Barrier Reef Arena (also known as the Ray Mitchell Oval and Harrup Park)[2] is an Australian rules football and a cricket ground in the city of Mackay, Queensland, Australia.
On 19 September 2018, the Gold Coast Suns announced a four-year deal with the Mackay Council to play AFL Women's matches at Harrup Park between 2019-2022.
[3][4] The first recorded match on the ground occurred when Queensland Country XI played against the touring West Indians in 1968, with Rohan Kanhai scoring 206 runs on the 2nd day.
[12] The ground hosted a One Day International match during the 1992 Cricket World Cup, with India and Sri Lanka playing on 28 February.
[14] Thus, Sri Lankan fast bowler Champaka Ramanayake and Indian batsman Krishnamachari Srikkanth hold unusual distinctions: Ramanayake is the only male international bowler to have ever bowled at the venue, and Srikkanth is the batsman who scored the only run ever in the only men's international cricket match played here.
