It was another busy week for news in the Burdekin.
Among the notable events was the re-opening of Stardust Drive-In Cinema, which welcomed customers for the first time in almost a year-and-a-half, after Cyclone Kirrily left its mark on the beloved, long-standing community hub back in January, 2024.
I decided to give it a go at their soft re-launch last Friday, and it did not disappoint. It was also refreshing to see the community turn up in droves to support the venue, which has been a staple in the Burdekin entertainment scene for over over 60 years.
Speaking of entertainment—I also managed to sus out Capone’s Nightclub on Saturday night. Nothing quite like anything back home in Sydney, but still a neat set-up and I imagine it will be packed this weekend following the races.
Which brings me to the Burdekin Growers Race Day—my first one, and I’m looking forward to it. From what I’ve heard, it’s one of those days that starts with the horses but ends up being about everything else. Good stories, loud shirts, a bit of dust, and a crowd that knows how to enjoy itself.
The pace doesn’t seem to be slowing down around here—and honestly, that’s part of the charm. Can’t wait for the week ahead.
And, as always, if you have a story to tell, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
