Smell the molasses!
Being a Queenslander, I could almost live on the smell of a sugar mill! But sugar cane is also cultivated in the Northern Rivers district of New South Wales. Three mills ply their trade in the area, Condong in the Tweed River area, Broadwater (this one) in the Richmond River area and Harwood, the southern most on the Clarence River. Condong used to be connected to the NSW rail system (but not now) - all three otherwise and unlike most Queensland mills rely solely on road transport to bring in the cut cane.
The truck seen on the old highway is a sugar cane truck, coming to or leaving the mill.
