Ingham Attractions
The little town of Ingham (pop. 5700), named after WB Ingham, an early settler and sugar-cane planter, lies on the lower course of the Herbert River in a large sugar-growing area. Graves in the churchyard point to the Mediterranean origins of the early settlers. The Victoria Mill is one of the largest sugar mills in the world; the Macknade Mill has been operating since 1874.
Lumholtz National Park
600ha.
The most impressive feature in Lumholtz National Park is the waterfall on Stony Creek, a tributary of the Herbert River, where the water plunges down 279m (greatest flow of water at end of summer).
Above the falls are expanses of luxuriant rain forest. There is a good general view from a lookout reached on a track which takes off from the road. There are walking trails and bathing areas.
