The Burdekin Shire has 20,000 residents with over 8,500 living in Ayr. With an average of 300 days of sunshine each year, the Burdekin is an adventurers paradise with great fishing and crabbing spots like the Burdekin River, Haughton River, Barrattas as well as the Pacific Ocean and the Great Barrier Reef just of the coast.

The Burdekin is said to be built on liquid gold as a vast natural underground aquifer which is estimated to contain 20 million megalitres of water lies just below the surface. There is only one other similar irrigation area in Australia with this supply of water available- the Ord River in Western Australia. The combination of fertile soil, abundance of water and great climatic weather has resulted in the Burdekin having a multi-million dollar small crop industry as well as Australias richest sugar producing area. Apart from sugar cane Ayr also produces mangoes, melons and a wide variety of horticultural and vegetable crops. (It has been said that you could plant a feather and grow a chook).

Ayr won the Tidy Towns Award in 2003 and has a friendly town atmosphere, excellent shopping, great medical facilities including a new hospital complex. There are many primary schools, high schools, day care centres, an agricultural colledge, several major supermarkets, fast food outlets and award winning restaurants.
