🍓🧇 Waffles, coffee, movies and good company... what more could you ask for?

Our fantastic Burdekin Visitor Information Centre volunteers took some time out to enjoy a well-earned social outing at Silver Screens 'n Coffee Beans, where they were treated to delicious waffles, toasties and coffee. Some of our volunteers then stayed on for a little movie magic, catching Holy Days at the Indoor Galaxy Cinema.

A big thank you to Suzzi and the team at Silver Screens 'n Coffee Beans for their warm hospitality and a lovely morning out!

🌅 Early mornings on the Burdekin coastline are our favourite.

While some are still sleeping, the first anglers are already by the water, waiting for their first catch as golden skies stretch across the horizon and the gentle sounds of the coast begin to stir.

Beyond the cane fields, this is another side of the Burdekin, where unforgettable sunrises, world-class fishing and stunning coastal scenery go hand in hand.
