Information

The small township of Ayton, on the Bloomfield Track north of the Bloomfield River, was the site of Queensland’s first sugar mill, and once had an active timber and tin-mining industry.

Today it's known for its stunning scenery and great estuary fishing. Weary Bay is close by, and you can stroll along the beach named by a very tired James Cook, or hire a boat to explore the Bloomfield River and even the secluded Cedar Bay National Park.
