Ingham 19 – 20 July 2015

We drove up the road and settled in a camp at Ingham on a pretty lagoon. It is beautiful in the early morning and afternoon when the birds come in to roost. Ingham is a small quiet town of about 5,000 that is surrounded by sugar cane farms and has a large mill right in town. It still has a strong Italian connection from the early cane cutters. While looking very green, the locals complain that they have had less rain then normal. This has affected the level of sugar in the cane, meaning many farmers are not getting sufficient return for their crops.
