We carry a lithium jump starter, but that failed, as did trying to jump start from another car. So a call to the RACQ for a car battery replacement (glad we extended the NRMA coverage to include all rural areas) and we were on the way to Ingham.
We stayed in a CMCA park here - $7 per night for members (us). It doesn't get you anything more than a nice grassy area close to town to stay the night (you have yo be self-contained as there are no toilet facilities) but it does come with some friendly chat and a happy hour at 4pm where everyone (generally) comes together for a drink or cuppa and chat.
We walked through the TYTO wetlands. Beautiful water lilies in a billabong.
We then ventured into the wetlands on a path about 2m wide with swampy water and grasses on either side. It also was adjacent to a sports field with no fence. We had been warned not to walk in some spots as slide marks had been noticed on the track! So we walked to a bridge over a billabong - murky water, glad we were on a bridge, and there it was... a croc about 3 m long sunning itself on a little island under a tree. We watched him for a while then he gracefully slid backwards in the murky water, not to be seen again. We left quite quickly!
We stopped at Lucinda - the longest wharf in the southern hemisphere at 5.76 km long, a conveyor belt loading sugar.
