Dalbeg is a tiny farming community located inland
from the townships of Ayr and Home Hill. Situated
on the banks of the Burdekin River, Dalbeg
is a fertile area famous for growing sugar cane and
vegetables.

On many maps there appears to be a road
crossing the Burdekin River at Dalbeg. In fact
Dalbeg was once a fording point. The earliest
explorers coming from the Gulf region (The Plains
of Promise) used Expedition Pass through the
mountains to arrive at the banks of the Burdekin
River at this fording point where they then crossed
into Strathalbyn Station. The river can no longer be
forded at this point.
