The only mill in Western AustraliaSugar cane gets transported to the closest sugar mill by special sugar trains. The sugar cane has to get there within 16 hours otherwise there is a risk of the sugar cane deteriorating.
When the sugar gets to the mill, they crush chop and slice the sugar cane. This loosens the plant fibres and releases the sweet juice inside. then the juice is cleaned to extract all the dirty stuff like dirt, bugs and germs etc. After that they boil it into a thick syrup, it is then treated to make sugar crystals known as refined brown sugar. Further processing is done to make white sugar, etc.
All this is done at the sugar mill
