These so-called twin towns are situated eleven kilometers apart and are largely sugar industry dependent. Among the sites here is the Burdekin Bridge or the Silver Link. It is 1097 meters long and is of quite a distinct construction because the river bed actually lacks a river solid bottom.

The town of Ayr is on the northern part of Burdekin River, while Home Hill is on the southern bank. Nearby Mt. Inkerman is a picturesque vantage point which provides a great view.
