Hotels near Ingham Airport - IGH, Ingham

Ingham isn't really a holiday destination. We stayed there overnight to break our journey down the Bruce Highway. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon and although the staff in the tourist information were very friendly and helpful, there was nowhere to go out of the rain.

In the Tyto Wetland in Ingham you can see nearly as much birds species as in Kakadu. The cemetery in Ingham is a touristic spot. 1 hour drive inland from Ingham you have the Wallaman falls, the biggest in Australia (269m). A bit south you have the Jourama falls which is a beautiful spot with rock pools.

The photos are deceiving, the standard room is incredibly small and the air-conditioning comes through the toilet, so imagine. The TV turns off every hour and the WiFi was woeful, unusable. The front door kept jamming so had to be slammed. Very dirty grubby, seedy little dungeon.

Ingham was a pleasant town. We travelled from there to see the amazing Walloman Falls. We had coffee at the famous Italian JK's Delicatessan and coffee shop. Also a meal at the historic Station Hotel and a drive to the Forrest Beach. The wetlands are interesting but there are resident crocodiles which is off putting..

Ingham has lost its old town rustic charm. I grew up around Ingham, Cardwell and Tully 50 years ago and Ingham has now turned into a place that hasn't got much going for it but cane/farming. If you don't have a skill you, will not find employment there. Ingham is not what it used to be, a vibrant pulsating town.
