The Burdekin continues to shine with celebrations of significance across our community. From Rotary marking 70 years of service, Burdekin Pottery celebrating 50 years of creativity, to the 100-year milestone of the Catholic Church in our region. We also applaud long-standing local businesses like Liesmann Plumbing, celebrating 55 years, and Nutrien Harcourts McCathies Real Estate, marking 60 years of operation. And next year, we’ll honour 100 years of the Ayr Surf Life Saving Club.
Donations from the generosity of our community have collectively shaped the Burdekin into what it is today. It’s a community I believe we are all proud to be part of. We are truly fortunate to have had pioneers who worked tirelessly, volunteering their time and resources to bring their visions to life. Without their dedication and selflessness, we would not have treasured facilities like the Burdekin Theatre, our aged care centres, churches, and many other vital community spaces.
After attending the recent Voices of the Future event at Ayr State High School, I can confidently say: the future is in good hands. It was inspiring to see our youth speak with passion, purpose, and confidence qualities many of us never had the chance to develop so young.
From little things, big things truly do grow and the Burdekin is growing into something extraordinary.
