From Misty Mountains to Platypus Playgrounds
Nestled to the west of Mackay, the Pioneer Valley is a tapestry of natural beauty and rural charm. As you journey through this picturesque region, you'll be greeted by vast paddocks of sugar cane, a sight that defines the area's agricultural heritage. In the midst of the 'crush' season, the landscape comes alive with the activity of tractors towing large trailers of cane and cane trains chugging along their tracks. The rolling hills gradually give way to the majestic Clarke Range, where a steep and winding road takes you up into the rainforest, transporting you to an ancient, verdant natural world. The hills are often shrouded in low clouds, creating a magical, misty adventure.
