Dalbeg is a tiny farming community located inland from the townships of Ayr and Home Hill. Situated on the banks of the Burdekin River, it is a fertile area famous for growing sugar cane and vegetables.
On many maps there appears to be a road crossing the Burdekin River at Dalbeg. In fact this was once a fording point. The earliest explorers coming from the Gulf region (The Plains of Promise) used Expedition Pass through the mountains to arrive at the banks of the Burdekin River at this fording point where they then crossed into Strathalbyn Station. The river can no longer be forded at this point.
Dalbeg was once home to the North Queensland Soaring Centre (then the Burdekin Soaring Club).
If you are thinking of going fruit picking there please do not work for McShanes produce as you will be treated like a dog. No work, No tax no super and they will have you living in a tin hut.
Be warned and beware they are vultures.
