Inkerman Sugar Mill Archive
The Inkerman Sugar Mill is located in Home Hill on the banks of the Burdekin River. The mill was designed and built by J Pickering, a Scottish engineer. He worked under the instructions of John Drysdale using machinery manufactured by George Fletcher and Company of County Derby in England. This sugar mill was completed in 1914 and began crushing the following year. Inevitably the opportunities for employment attracted workers and sugar cane farmers to the area and a small centre grew up to provide the necessary goods and services.
