New Ingham Cemetery.

Two milestones today; My 200th blip & as of yesterday have now taken just over 10,000 photos on my Canon 650D that I brought in July last year.
We packed up the camper trailer and headed off for Hydeaway Bay, back where we were at the beginning of July. With all the road works, and a quick stop in Bowen to get groceries, fuel etc, it took us 7 hours to get here. Then we had to set up everything – so the blip didn't go up until morning.
A quick stop at the New Ingham Cemetery, one of the places we had been told to look at on our first stop at Ingahm. It is just as impressive as I remember it.
LOCATION MARKER IS NOT IN EXACT PLACE.

Here are some bits of history about Ingham, taken from the Heritage Australia website.

"In 1891 the first Italian migrants arrived to begin working on the local cane fields. Sponsored immigration of their family and friends occurred until WWI and then again from 1920 to 1939. Today more than half of Ingham's population are of Italian descent.
The Italian presence in the area can be seen in the 'new' Ingham cemetery, where southern-European-style family mausoleums have been constructed since 1952. The first recorded burial at the 'old' cemetery was in 1888. The Sacred Heart Monument here stands over the graves of some of the 25 people who died during severe flooding in 1927.

In 1875 the Telegraph Hotel was built as the first permanent building at the townsite. It was replaced by the double-storey Day Dawn Hotel by 1885. Lee's Hotel, which opened in 1960, now stands on the site. It is claimed that the poem 'A Pub With No Beer', which was later adapted and made famous when sung by Slim Dusty, was written about this hotel during WWII when American servicemen drunk the hotel dry while celebrating victory in the Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942. It is not, however, the only drinking establishment in Australia that claims the title of the original 'pub with no beer'. "
