Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Creator: Unidentified

Location: Ingham, Queensland
Description: Newly-built Post Office building with corrugated iron roof and rendered walls. The building has solid square columns and round decorative porthole windows at the gable ends of the two sections. The entry steps have a wrought iron railing.
Ingham is situated in the Herbert River district and is known as 'Australia's Sugar Bowl'. Ingham derives its name from William Bairstow Ingham, owner of the Ingham plantation, who settled in the district in 1873. The town is positioned between a wilderness of parks, waterfalls and the waterways of the Hinchinbrook Channel, and is situated 110 km north of Townsville. Sugar-growing was established in the 1870s. The largest mills are the Macknade and the Victoria. Victoria Sugar Mill can crush 4 million tonnes of cane. During the 1950s, sugar, timber-cutting and tin were responsible for much developmental work around Ingham. The port for Ingham is Lucinda Point at the mouth of the Herbert River.
