Everyone’s been talking about the “handsome cane farmer” at Council… and honestly, we’re still not sure if they mean the mural or Mick the Cane Cutter? 🤠

We're starting to think art_by_lavinia may have had some real-life inspiration for her cane farmer 👀

This mural celebrates the Burdekin’s rich cane farming history — from blazing cane fires to iconic landmarks, local produce and the industries that make our region what it is!

📸 Of course Mick from the Sweet Days Hot Nights Festival had to stop by for a photo.

Have you checked out this masterpiece for yourself?

📍 Burdekin Shire Council Chambers, MacMillan Street, Ayr
