Meet a tradie: Mick Bourke

Mick Bourke from MGB Concrete calls himself a “permanent local”.

He has lived on the Cooloola Coast nearly all his life, and before then remembers visiting the old pub in Rainbow.

“My parents had a house in Tin Can Bay and grandparents, too – we used to come here all the time. I love it – fishing and crabbing – I’m not going anywhere!”

He specialises in driveways, pool surrounds and exposed aggregate, priding himself on high quality work.

With 26 years experience, he has an impressive number of projects on the coast.

Although based in Cooloola Cove, he is kept busy at the beach, “About 100 driveways around here, most of The Shores, most of my work is in Rainbow,” he says. “This is thanks to locals for all their support over the years.”

Since another long time local, Terry Van Oirschot joined his crew, his partner Kristy can spend more time in the office side of things and taking photos of his latest work. Check out the MGB Concrete Facebook page for images.

Having so many driveways ‘under his belt’ is a real advantage to his future customers.

Kristy said, “Mick drives people around and shows them all the finished jobs. The work speaks for itself.”

Mick will even tell you his favourite redclaw-catching ingredient!
