Living in Calen, QLD

Dalrymple Heights is a peaceful, rural community offering a serene lifestyle with expansive views of the surrounding countryside. Located on the southern edge of the picturesque Burdekin region, it’s perfect for those who enjoy a quiet, laid-back atmosphere with easy access to nature. The area is ideal for families, retirees, or anyone looking for space and tranquillity while still being within a reasonable drive of urban amenities. With its proximity to farming land, you’ll often see beautiful vistas of lush, green landscapes dotted with grazing cattle and wide open skies. While Dalrymple Heights itself is a small, rural area with limited local shops and cafés, the nearby towns of Ayr and Home Hill provide essential services, including supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants. You can easily enjoy the peaceful countryside lifestyle while still being able to access all the conveniences of larger towns. For those seeking a more extensive shopping experience or cultural activities, Townsville is only a 90-minute drive away, offering everything from shopping centres to arts and entertainment. Additionally, Ayr and Home Hill both have local hospitals for medical care, ensuring peace of mind for residents. Notable landmarks in the area include the stunning Dalrymple Bay and the nearby beaches, which offer opportunities for fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities. The region is also home to the Burdekin Falls Dam, a popular spot for fishing, picnics, and nature walks, providing residents with ample opportunities to connect with nature. Whether it’s relaxing by the river, hiking in the nearby hills, or enjoying the peaceful rural life, Dalrymple Heights is a wonderful choice for those seeking a slower pace of life.
