  This was an interesting experience for myself and my wife. Learned quite a bit about the industry and the milling process, as well as enjoying a taste of quite a few products of the mill. Well presented tour by Lynda and reasonably priced sauces and relishes to buy, along with the very friendly and helpful volunteer staff made this a very worthwhile activity.

  Went to view and was shut for the day even though both the website and phone message bank claimed they would be open. Was severely disappointed. Thank you to the women at the information Centre who were very apologetic and friendly.

  Our staff and volunteers are so glad you enjoyed your tour. There is no greater story in Australias history than that of the Quensland Sugar Industry so happy to share with our visitors.

  See our review of Farleigh Sugar Mill for a comparison of the two mill tours on offer around Mackay. This one is for people who just want a superficial exposure to the manufacturing process behind raw sugar. While this tour is conducted at a sugar mill, it does not take you through the mill and instead fairly unsuccessfully tries to demonstrate the milling process via a working model. The Fraleigh Sugar Mill tour takes you through and into the heart of a working mill and is the preferable experience in our opinion, having done both tours.

  Was very interesting was disappointed we didn't get to see the machines in action. Also was thought we would get to taste more products. We were also on a tight budget so $44 for two of us was a fair bit. If I hadn't been on a budget I maybe would give more stars! Very friendly people and knowledgable !

  Hi Noel and Maxine,Thank you for taking the time to review your experience on our Taste the Action tour. Our volunteers have spent a good part of their working lives working in the sugar industry and are our greatest assets. Visitors leave with a really good understanding of the sugar industry. Thanks again.

  Enjoyable and informative with a deliciously sweet ending!Thank you for taking us on the journey of the jellybean, from the paddock to the plate. Prior to this tour I had no idea how sugar was extracted from sugar cane, and now I feel like an expert. Learning about the different products made from the sugar cane during the crushing process, such as fertiliser, electricity and ethanol, was a real eye opener! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny, and really made the tour very enjoyable. I now know the differences between molasses, treacle and golden syrup, and how white, raw and brown sugar are all made! I was very impressed with how the miniature mill operated, and enjoyed sampling the freshly extracted cane juice. The tasting session of the rum, liqueurs, sauces and candy floss at the end was such a bonus, a great way to end the tour and sample delicious treats that were made on site. I will definitely be returning to purchase more of the limited edition rum!
