The SunWater Burdekin Water Festival is a celebration of the abundance of water in our district.
June to September 2011 - Ayr, North Queensland, Australia.
The celebrations include a wide variety of exciting events that encompass the whole community.
The Burdekin Water Festival is one of the longest running festivals in Queensland. It was the dream of William Morley (Bob) Saxby Snr who had been to Toowoomba and had experienced the Carnival of Flowers in 1957.
Upon his return to Ayr, he approached the Shire Chairman at that time to discuss what the Burdekin could do to promote its underground water supply.
A public meeting was called in late 1957, and from that meeting the Burdekin Water Festival was formed, with the first festival being held on 6 September 1958.
