| 説明 | legislation the Queensland government enticed Italian immigrants to Ingham and elsewhere to work on cane plantations or farms. So today around half of Ingham’s inhabitants are of Italian origin. The town has an Italian Fest once a year. The Italian community ran their own hospital between 1929 and 1945 and the Italians have their own distinctive section of the Ingham cemetery with their family mausoleums. In the 1930s the Italian community was extorted by a handful of their own in a mafia style protection racket. This was the Black Hand Threat. Although the Queensland government acted to squash it a number of locals were murdered for failing to pay extortion money. During the ten years from 1931 to 1941 eleven Italians in the Ingham to Innisfail region were murdered and thirty bomb attacks were perpetrated by the Black Hand Threat. Today Ingham is known for its TYTO (a type of barn owl) wetlands, its Information centre, lookouts and walkways. The TYTO 110 hectare wetland area has around 240 species of bird and three labelled walkways. Jabiru and Crimson Finches are often seen. One special feature is the Sugar Tracks walk with 18 pieces of historic sugar mill production machinery. All are clearly labelled for you. Although Ingham is not known for its historic buildings you can see the old Courthouse in the Main Street. It was only built in 1948 but it was designed to suit the tropical climate with special ventilation equipment and metal sun shades etc. |
