Cute little
Lucinda
, 27km northeast of Ingham, attracts happy-snappers gawking at the
town's 5.76km-long jetty. The roofed structure, with a continuous conveyor belt running
its length, is the world's longest bulk sugar-loading jetty, allowing enormous carrier ships
to dock. Public access is off limits but it's an impressive sight nonetheless.
