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.
