English: Floods in Ingham, Queensland, 1946.
Floodwaters sweep down in front of the Kenions Building in Ingham. Adjoining businesses including the Hotel Central and Nolans Limited have water covering footpaths in front of the shops.The Commonweatlth Bank of Australia has less water damage. 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 Ings 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 has the capacity to 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.
