Statement from Nick Dametto MP – Port Hinchinbrook (March) - Nick Dametto MP
14 March 2024 In my last statement regarding Port Hinchinbrook dated 19 February 2024, I outlined my plans to continue meeting with State Government Ministers regarding a long-term dredging plan for O...Yet we dredge Gladstone harbour and now we will dredge townsville for the cruise ships but the 10's of thousands of boats that want to use this marina we dont, govt needs to step up and sort it out along with dangenous before it ends up the same way
I not a civil engineer but would it be wise to build a sea wall first so that any swell would wash against the rocks at 90 degrees to the channel and not make it worse between now and the dredging. Then of course once dredged it doesn’t have to be Re dredged as often?

Anyone with any say within the CCRC uses Clump Point. Hence the redevelopment. Whilst we have weak representation on council, Cardwell will continue to be an afterthought. Appreciate your continued hard work Nick Dametto MP.
🌾☀️Good morning, Hinchinbrook.
For me there’s nothing like waking up at Hawkins Creek, this is where I grew up on my Nonno Lino Dametto’s farm.
On my father’s side, our families story in Australia started with my Biz Nonno Antonio “Tony” Fabris, a Northern Italian migrant who left war torn Italy after World War One and settled in Hawkins Creek where he grew sugar cane as his family’s main source of income.
During WW2 while other Italian men in the region were being rounded up and locked up in internment camps he avoided such fate because of his age, instead he was allowed to stay on his property with his wife and six daughters.
As most Italian men and husbands in the area were locked up this left many families without a source of income or access to fresh food, Tony took it upon himself with the help of the women left at Hawkins Creek to grow fresh fruits and vegetables at no charge to help keep food on the table.
Although Tony was blessed with 6 wonderful daughters there was no son to carry on his family name, fortunately he was honoured with the road that lead to his family home and farm being named Fabris Road.
Returning to the place I grew up brings back many childhood memories and helps me appreciate the hardships and sacrifices of those who came before us endured so that we may be afforded the opportunities of today.
Like many, I share a similar family story and I am proud of my migrant family history.

Great families were created by his dynasty were hard work and family values were were rewarded.
I remember your great grandparents. Beautiful people. Love your story.
Definitely Gods country up there Nick Dametto MP
Yes, so many similar families in the district.. the connecting links are hard work and ethical standards. I believe this is the deciding difference between that immigration time frame, and what has occurred since..
great place to live hawkins creek nick really enjoyed my time there
Well said Nick. I'm in your court being a proud Italian immigrant. Unfortunately I did not have the wonderful Ingham and surrounds to grow up in but I'm making the most of it having spent the past 37 years in beautiful downtown Bluewater. Love the area and the peeps.
Such a beautiful part of the world , my dad just sold his property on West road , many happy memories over the years of swimming in manor creek 😞
Hi from your neighbours down the road. We are hoping that the grass has dried enough for us to mow the lawn today 😀
Love your story Nick! Love the photos too. Watched a utube video on life in Ingham around the 40s and 50s very interesting! They certainly worked hard on the fields.
Very similar to my father in law family’s journey to Australia 🇮🇹🇦🇺🌾
I had the pleasure of living on Hawkins Creek Rd. Great location and people like the di and frank.
Wonderful history - so much sacrifice we need to understand … my Nonno Quintino Costanzo was rounded up at that time , so hard on the family …
Beautiful
