I resolved it by installing the MAMP stack. This is a Mac OS-X specific version of the world famous LAMP stack.
LAMP stands for Linux, Apache. MySql and Php (or perl)
thus MAMP replaces Linux with Mac OS-X
I never looked back once I found MAMP

Try looking in "System Preferences" - is there a "MySQL" applet in the "Other" section (very bottom). If so, you may be able to start / stop your MySQL server using that, and choose whether to have it auto-start when your Mac starts.
From memory, both the MySQL Workbench and the Admin tool were both installed in the /Applications folder.

When I downloaded the DMG, I see 3 install options, and a ReadMe.txt file:
I ran the mysql-5.6.11-osx10.7-x86_64.pkg file, and a few minutes later it told me that it had successfully installed. (I agree - this is less than helpful at this point). I confirmed that it was installed:
Line 3 shows where it is really installed to, while line 2 shows the symbolic link that was set up for me by the install process. All looks good.
I then installed the MySQL.prefPane (double clicked the icon in the install DMG - it told me that it needed to be installed to the preferences panel). Once that was done I had a new icon in my preferences panel:
Clicking that button gave me a new set of options (although it started out with MySQL Server not running - I clicked the "Start MySQL Server" button to get it started).
I confirmed that the server was now running:
Finally, I logged into MySQL to ensure it was all working correctly:
