Burdekin Region Outline

The fertile Burdekin area in north Queensland is dominated by sugar cane fields nourished by an extensive irrigation network and anchored by the twin towns of Ayr and Home Hill. Beyond farming, the Burdekin River supports wetlands and fishing, and small communities celebrate Italian and Indigenous heritage. Locals often take visitors up Inkerman Hill for sweeping views of the river delta at sunrise and retreat to the bird hide in Plantation Park, where magpie geese and brolgas gather during the wet season.
