Explore the Hinchinbrook Heritage Trail to learn the history of Ingham and stock up on Italian fare at one of the town's many delicatessens before driving to a nearby beach for a picnic. Catch some waves at Forrest Beach or hook a fish at Taylors Beach further north. Heading towards Lucinda, don't miss Halifax, a small community where historic building facades and heritage-listed mango trees line the main street. You can access the Hinchinbrook Channel at Lucinda, a popular departure point for fishing charters and transfers to Australia's largest island national park, Hinchinbrook Island. Nearby is Girringun National Park with the spectacular Wallaman Falls, Australia's longest permanent single-drop waterfall. Heading back towards Ingham, take the turn-off to Mt Fox, a well preserved dormant volcano, formed more than 100,000 years ago. Wind through Paluma Range National Park on the historic Mount Spec Road to reach Hidden Valley where you may see platypus. The road continues to Paluma, a quaint village with historic bush walks to scenic lookouts. Returning to Ingham, stop about 500 metres south of Ingham at the Tyto Wetlands, where you can explore lagoons and walking tracks which are home to more than 230 species of birds and wallabies.
