Mirani (including Marian, Finch Hatton and Eungella)
Sleepy rural town surrounded by fields of sugar cane.
Although Mirani is a small and rather inconsequential sugar town it lies at the heart of the beautiful Pioneer Valley which is described, with some justification, as the 'Showcase of North Queensland'.
Located 37 km west of Mackay and 1012 km north of Brisbane, Mirani is the centre of a shire with a population of over 5000 which includes some of the most dense aggregations of sugarcane anywhere in Queensland. So pervasive is it that it is commonplace to see sugarcane forming a wall around the garden edges of a small house block. The shire has two sugar mills (at Pleystowe and Marian), the beautiful Finch Hatton Gorge Falls and the cool rainforest beauty of Eungella National Park State Forest.
