Ayr

21 km²

Flat plains and a layout designed for pedestrians define Ayr, a regional centre in the Burdekin region of Queensland. The town is highly accessible, with most homes within a short walk of schools, parks, and health services. It supports a notable First Nations population that is younger and more likely to have finished Year 12 than those in similar areas. This combination of a convenient own-town layout and a youthful indigenous community gives Ayr a distinct regional character.
