Our virtual tours let you step inside a working sugar mill without leaving home.

You can take a journey through the sugar-making process and see how sugarcane is transformed into raw sugar, or just check out the parts of the factory that interest you most.

We created these virtual tours to meet the demand for an interactive, online visitor experience. They're also an opportunity to showcase our operations and the sugar industry more broadly.

We have two VR tours in our library: Macknade Mill in the Herbert region and Pioneer Mill in the Burdekin region. Step inside and take a look around.

Macknade Mill
Macknade Mill
Macknade Mill, located in the Herbert region, is the oldest continuously operating sugar mill in Australia. It's also the only mill to have a golf course within its grounds. The factory processes an average of 1.5 million tonnes of sugarcane each year to manufacture about 191,000 tonnes of raw sugar. Come check it out.
Pioneer Mill
Pioneer Mill
Pioneer Mill, located in the Burdekin region, has been in operation since 1884. It processes an average of 1.7 million tonnes of sugarcane each year to manufacture about 260,000 tonnes of raw sugar. It also has a large powerhouse that generates green energy for Queensland homes. Take a look around.

  Wet season nutrition

Barrel wet seasonCommon limiting nutrientsCattle don’t always thrive as they should during northern Australia’s wet season, despite lush pastures. That’s because pastures often have low levels of phosphorus, which is essential for bone development, maintaining feed intake, reproductive function and overall animal health.

Supplementing with phosphorus in phosphorus-deficient countries can improve productivity and profitability.

SuplaFlo®+Phos and SuplaFlo®+Max Phos liquid stockfeed supplements contain 10% natural protein, natural micronutrients and added phosphorus. They have been specifically formulated to address phosphorus deficiencies and improve livestock health and performance in the wet season.

Why supplement

  • Plug gaps in nutrition
    Supplementing with phosphorus in the wet season can maximise growth and performance ahead of the dry season, and set breeders up for success in joining and calving.
  • Boost feed intake
    Phosphorus deficiency can severely limit the appetite and dry matter intake of livestock. Supplementing with phosphorus can lead to a 30-40% improvement in feed intake.
  • Source of urea-free protein
    With 10% natural protein and natural micronutrients, SuplaFlo+Phos® and SuplaFlo+Max Phos® are rain safe and readily palatable for young livestock.
