18.01.2022 THROWBACK THURSDAY Queen Street through the decades - A lot has changed in the Burdekin during the last 60 years. But it's nice to see that our towns retain much of their historic charm. Here are some views of what Ayr's main street looked like in the early 1960s (image 1), 1970s (image 2), early 1990s (image 3) and today (final image). #visitburdekin #townsvilleshines #thisisqueensland #visitqueensland #history #historictowns #vintagepostcards

Enjoy the tranquillity by taking in all the sights and sounds of wallabies foraging, sunbirds calling and turtles crawling in the damp undergrowth. #visitburdekin #thisisqueensland #townsvilleshines #rainforest #nature #bushwalk #naturetrail
