Situated on the southern side of the Burdekin Bridge, Home Hill was established in 1913 from land carved out of Inkerman Downs Station. It is just 12 kilometres south of Ayr and is linked to its larger neighbour by the famous Burdekin Bridge – the district’s best-known landmark.
With a landscape dominated by lush, green canefields and the Inkerman Sugar Mill, it’s easy to see that the local economy is driven by sugar cane. The town has most amenities to cater for the traveller and a range of sporting interests are catered for, including a golf club and a pistol shooting club.
This is the gateway to the popular Groper Creek fishing village – renowned for its barramundi, mudcrabs, prawns and other estuary fish. Good camping and caravan facilities, combined with the area’s laidback charm, have made Groper Creek a must-stop for winter pilgrims and grey nomads.
Back in town, visit the famous Ashworth's Tourist Centre, where under one roof is Ashworth's Jewellers, Rock Shop and the unbelievable Treasures of the Earth Display. See the murals that depict the district's rural life and view original Islander artworks at Zaro’s Cultural Gallery.
