Description

Dalbeg is a tiny farming community located inland from the townships of Ayr and Home Hill. Situated on the banks of the Burdekin River, Dalbeg 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 Dalbeg 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.
