North Queensland produces over 95% of Australia's sugar, which is mostly exported as Raw sugar. Here, in Ayr, cane is being harvested from a field that has bee "burnt", this was done in the days of hand cutting, to drive snakes and rats from the field, and to remove most of the green "trash" from the stalks. Today , not many farms burn their cane, but a few still do, and in the early tropical evening, there is nothing more spectacular than a "cane fire" !
