Why make the change?

Famous for being the sugar capital of Australia, The Burdekin district is located about an hour's drive south of Townsville.  Nestled in the delta of the Burdekin River, its two popular townships, Ayr and Home Hill, are linked by the iconic Burdekin Bridge. 

The spectacular Burdekin River Bridge is the district's best known landmark and is the longest crossing of its type in the country.  The region produces the biggest sugar cane crops in the country, together with a diverse selection of vegetables and tropical fruits. 

The Burdekin region is also a popular spot for fishing and the town centre offers a number of great specialty stores.  Situated on the north side of the mighty Burdekin River, 85 kilometres south of Townsville, the prosperous rural community of Ayr is the main town in the Burdekin Shire.
