Community Day last Thursday brought together everyone from juniors to seniors, and a few firemen, to enjoy the formal re-opening of the community facilities at TYTO. There was story time and robotics, along with computer classes and colouring. The cake was cut and councillors and community alike enjoyed the sweetness of jovial conversations among the stacks of the beloved library.

In a heartening reminder of the value of rural health care, the Ingham Health Service recently celebrated nine years since the reopening of its maternity service — and what better way to mark the occasion than with the birth of four babies in just 24 hours? On the 7th and 8th of April, four mothers; Giorgia Firmi, Marites Carao, Hannah Bestmann, and Leah Dingwell, welcomed their little ones into the world, creating a unique bond not only between their babies, but among themselves as part of thi

An elusive and endangered species, the mahogany glider is receiving new hope thanks to a collaborative conservation effort underway in North Queensland. The project, centred south of Ingham, is helping to link critical glider habitat while also delivering rare sightings of the species in the wild. Indigenous ranger Chris Muriata is one of the few people lucky enough to see a mahogany glider in its natural habitat. “To finally see one – it made me happy,” he says. “It was in vegetation at the

There was a real sense of celebration in the air as United Petroleum Ingham officially reopened its doors this week, a welcome sight for many a traveller and local alike.

Read the full storyAfter more than a decade in Ingham, Ingham Antiques and Collectables is preparing to close its doors — and everything must go!
The shop was originally run by Ian Fitzgerald’s younger brother and served the local community with hand-picked antiques. When his brother stepped away, Ian took over the business intending to wind it down. Preferring the joys of retired life — and without the specialist expertise — Ian now plans to help find every item a good home.
With the decision made to close, Ian is holding a massive clear-out sale. Every item in the shop has been reduced, with many marked down for quick clearance. It’s a rare opportunity for collectors and bargain hunters alike to snap up a treasure or two before the doors shut for good. While it marks the end of an era, locals are encouraged to show their support and perhaps find something special to remember the store by.
With gems like an extensive record collection in pristine condition, beautifully painted chinaware, pottery, thimbles, free books, and a ‘$1 only’ section of unique odds and ends, it’s the perfect place to uncover your next new (but old!) special something.
Drop in, say goodbye, and take advantage of the final markdowns — while stock lasts!
