Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
What a spectacular week it has been to live in the Burdekin. If there is one thing our region knows how to do better than anyone else, it’s coming together to celebrate our lifestyle, our community spirit, and our local industries.
We saw that in full force over the weekend at the Home Hill Race Club for the annual Burdekin Growers Race Day.
As one of the biggest highlights on our social calendar, it never fails to impress. It’s an incredible credit to the Burdekin Race Club committee, volunteers, and local growers who pull out all the stops to make this event happen. Seeing thousands of locals and visitors dressed to the nines, enjoying the racing, and walking away with a signature box of world class, locally grown Burdekin produce is something truly unique to our shire. It’s an event that pumps huge energy and tourist dollars into our towns, and it reminds us all why we are so proud to call this place home.
This coming Saturday is also World Fish Migration Day, which NQ Dry Tropics is celebrating with an event at Hutchings Lagoon from 9am to 1pm. The Free family event will feature lucky door prizes, barramundi fingerling releases, aquatic weed control demonstrations and much more. See you all at the lagoon!
