Hinchinbrook Island in the distance.
The town of Ingham a population of about 4.700 people is not that far from Lucinda thus providing the town with a supermarket and plenty of shopping.
That's a Patrol Boat checking peoples fish that they caught.
He's coming in after fishing, there is a jetty and a walkway to his house.
Found this photo of the end of the long jetty where the ships are and load the sugar.
Is it a mountain in the background?
ReplyDeleteYes it is and also Hinchinbrook Island.
DeleteBoa tarde, as cidades pequenas como Ingham são sempre as mais cativantes e que nos dão bem estar, é a minha opinião, as fotos são maravilhosas com os barcos patrulha.

Thank you. Small towns have to much to offer, we just have to explore them.
DeleteWhat a lovely area - thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteNice just nice
ReplyDeleteWas a lovely find Jo-Anne.
DeleteQuiet and beautiful place, without crowds
ReplyDeleteKisses
Definitely no crowds enough though winter is their busy time.
DeleteInteresting patrol boat... And interesting pictures. I could feel the sun...
ReplyDeleteIt not a patrol boat as I expected. I thought it would be a stronger larger one. The men are checking the fish catch thus not needing anything bigger.
DeleteAh! Australia's winter sun up north is nice and warm.
I wonder what fish are illegal to catch.
ReplyDeleteI think it is the quantity of fish John.
DeleteIt looks a great place to visit if you are a fisherman but how much are you allowed to catch.
ReplyDeleteMerle..............
Maybe on the signs it is written what the amount would be, didn't go take a photo of that as there was a boat coming to shore.
DeleteI think that Ingham is one of the wettest places in Australia.
ReplyDeleteAs for John above, I think the reason for the fishing inspectors is
to find out if the "fishing fraternity" have not excelled the limit
permissible to catch in a single day.
I don't think any fish are protected - just the quantity of that species
being caught.
Great post and photos.
Colin
Yes, it's the quantity Colin and size of the fish that is Australian wide I presume.
DeleteI can't get over the length of that jetty. Just incredible.
ReplyDeleteTo see it is to believe.
Deletecool boats
ReplyDeleteThey are ok Adam, nothing flash though.
DeleteYou found us some more wonders. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteWonderful pictures go the patrol boat..
ReplyDeleteThe men in the patrol boat were certainly doing their job as we watched for quite a while.
Deletethese photos are peace delivering and joy to look at.
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing the pleasure with us dear friend!
It is said to look at the water is peaceful.
DeleteThe area looks peaceful, is the water safe for swimming? I assume there are all the usual stingers, but what about sharks?
ReplyDeleteUsual stingers and you certainly don't see anyone swimming in any of that area, well we didn't...down the road somewhat at another beach there were a few in the water, but heaps of people weren't. One doesn't expect stringers and such in winter up there but you never know - best to play safe.
DeleteForgot to answer sharks - never heard of any being in that particular area but of course there were some further south.
DeleteLooks lovely place, small city, but so beautiful sea with nice boats.
ReplyDeleteVery small town - not many people at all, but the population swells in winter as it's warm up there, and summer is too hot for many.
DeleteUna pequeña excursion llena de bonitos rincones. Un abrazo,Margaret!!!
ReplyDeleteA road off the beaten track lead to some beautiful little towns...
DeleteBeautiful sea, solid blue.
ReplyDeleteCertainly is both.
DeleteThanks for a glimpse of a warm spot in the world. Temperatures here have dropped dramatically. -12 °C right now.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, that's cold. Today is was 30degC (86degF)here in Tasmania.
DeleteVery pretty photos, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mildred.
Deletegreat looking mountain in the first photo!
ReplyDeleteYou're bringing back many memories for me...I lived and worked in Ingham for a time, in 1997.
