Wednesday 26th August
It's all go at the farm. Paul gave us a tour in his tractor and all the boys had a turn at driving too.
After that he showed us the cemetery in Ingham which had a big Italian immigrant population in the 1800s and has some large mausoleums.
We found a steam train made in Leeds outside the sugar factory in Ingham.
Before lunch we also managed to fit in a ride in the sugar cane harvester and the tractors hauling the chopped cane to the train. We all enjoyed this experience and learnt a lot about sugar production.
After a lovely lunch back at the farm we said farewell to Paul and Margaret to make the 4 hour road trip up to Palm Cove, our next destination.
Arriving in the dark about 6pm we had a quick look at the beach front area then had dinner and a swim before bed and an early start on Thursday.
