The Burdekin has long been regarded as one of the most productive agricultural districts in Australia. In recent years harsh climatic and water shortages in other parts of the country have further highlighted the regions strengths. Even in the face of Australia’s worst drought in living memory, the mighty Burdekin remains resilient and prosperous. The reason of this can be summed up in one word…water.

The Burdekin district is built on “Liquid Gold” the name given to the regions massive water supply. That water supply includes a huge underground aquifier, the vast Burdekin and delta watercourses and the mighty Burdekin Falls Dam, which holds four times more water than the Sydney Harbour. The Burdekin’s abundant supply of good-quality water all year round is the regions number one asset. The districts rich supply of irrigation water combines with about 300 days of sunshine and fertile, well drained soils to make the Burdekin district the most productive sugar cane growing area in Australia.
