“Going through this ordeal in Ingham has put into perspective how we live our lives. We may have lost a lot, but nothing compared to a lot of people. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. Last week the most I had to stress about was missing my mum, my family, slow internet, too hot, what’s for tea again tonight. Now we have homes under water, people without food, no electricity and loss of life. I would not change my mind about moving to Ingham. The the amount of support we have been shown from total strangers has renewed my faith in people. Neighbours that don’t really know us have been a great support. What a great town, we are proud to now be Ingham locals” (Jenny Carmody 6/2/2025)
