Play School visits Harwood sugar mill
There was a lot of excitement at the Harwood sugar mill recently, when a crew from ABC TV’s children’s show, Play School, visited to film a segment titled: To Market, To Market.
“This series explores our food’s journey from paddock to plate – looking at environment, weather and seasons, as well as the machinery and facilities involved in food production,” a Sunshine Sugar spokesperson said.
“We were able to showcase our full production chain from the paddock to the finished package; watching cane being harvested and transported to the mill and then touring through the mill, learning about the sugar making process.
“Along the way the children learned how versatile sugar is, not only as a food, but also how it is used in making other important products such as medicine, paper, fuel and electricity.”
Four local children participated in the filming: (l-r) Keiran Benson from Lawrence Public School joined Lachlan Patch, Charlotte Reeves and Phoebe Mayo from Maclean Public School.
