the streets of the town and had a great "Pork Roast" at the local pub for only $7.00 each!
After lunch we unhitched the Suzuki and took a drive into Ayr, saw the "big snake" and out to
Alva Beach and then followed a narrow road lined with canefields(photo) and to Rita Island
near the mouth of the mighty Burdekin River where there used to be a town called "Wickham", but was completely washed away during a huge flood in the late 1800's and was never re-built.
After returning to Home Hill we intended to try to get some photos of the cane burning but by
the time we would've got there it would be already burnt.
