Interesting insight into the sugar and rum - This was pretty interesting and there are lots of things to sample. Our tour leader Julie was lovely and offered lots of insight and information. The sampling of the liquors, jams and chutneys was good too.

A Tasty Tour - A good tour. It takes you thought the Cane to Refined Sugar process. Note it is only a tourist scale display, you are not in the actual refinery. There is a nice tasting at the end. Thanks.

- Great tour guide extremely knowledgeable. Downside the facility is owned by the Mackay Regional Council who do not have enough space to store the rum. Hence there was only some available to taste but none to buy at all. The distillery tour was in the same space as the sugar shed tour and comprised of being informed that this is the still, explained how the rum is made and have a tasting . Quite expensive for what it was.
