Cemetery at Ingham, Queensland.

From Lucinda we drove to Ingham for the day.
A church and a few graves on the way to Ingham.
Ingham had a lot of Italian people living there and now of course their children.  Some of the graves are really beautiful.
The Cemetery depicts the area's strong Mediterranean influences with a magnificent display of tile mausoleums.
In the Catholic section the older style mausoleums are constructed from white stucco and marble, the traditional materials, and contain Gothic style windows and doors.  More recent ones are flat-roofed with parapet surrounds and finished with terrazzo and tiles.

Ingham, Queensland.

Ingham is 110 klm (68) ml north of Townsville which I featured in my previous post. It's 1,437 klm (893 mi) north of the state capital, Brisbane.
At Ingham sugarcane is grown, it has the largest sugar-mill in Australia and one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

Many Italians live in Ingham so the Australian- Italian Festival is held in May each year with thousands of people attending the event.  The town is known as "Little Italy".
