Giru is a small sugar-mill town on the Haughton River in the Burdekin region, known for its cane fields, fishing and relaxed rural lifestyle. It offers a tight-knit community feel with everyday essentials on hand, while major services are in Ayr and Townsville. Proximity to national park wetlands adds to its natural appeal.
Predominantly working families and agricultural workers linked to the cane industry, with multi‑generational locals and a modest number of service and trades workers. Lifestyle is quiet and outdoorsy, centred on community clubs, the river, and seasonal agricultural activity.
