Ingham

Victoria Mill, the largest sugar mill in the Southern Hemisphere.   The mill recycles its waste product into energy thru an electricity generating plant and feeds the power back into the grid.     As far as you travel, all you see are sugar farms and lots of harvesting.     Sugar cane train lines criss cross all thru the farms and you have to be very aware when you approach these crossings to look out for the trains.    We have seen quite a few the last two days.   Today we watched them harvesting and transporting the cane.   Below is a picture of the Lucinda Jetty.   It stretches 6km out to sea.  The worlds longest offshore sugar loading facility.   It follows the curve of the earth.    Some locals told us that there was a 5M croc in one of the creeks nearby, but we didnt spot it, as if we would go looking anyway.  !!!!   The Pub With No Beer made famous by Slim Dusty is also here in the main street.

Contractors on ropes, reroofing the sugar cane terminal

We are leaving Ingham tomorrow but will come back again as we liked the place and there is more to see.

Just an old P.O.
