Ingham is the town center of the Hinchinbrook Region and a major hub for Australia’s sugar industry. Nestled amongst rugged mountain peaks, giant waterfalls, sugarcane-filled floodplains, wild islands, tropical reefs, and a beckoning coastline; what is there to do in Ingham? The choices are endless! Ingham is known as the “Little Italy” of Tropical North Queensland and is known for the exceptional richness and quality of its Italian culture, which may be enjoyed at any of the local Italian delicatessens.

I might be wrong, but I am guessing the photo is after 1897.

beachcomber australia you might be right!

Here is something: there is a scratched out title line above and to the left of the legible one, which means this is a Cabinet plate copy.
Here is the original Imperial plate image for comparison and maybe more detail -

Warwickshire Herald - Thursday 25 August 1898

Holidays keepers who intend to spend their summer vacation in the Emerald Isle, can hardly do better than to select Holden's Laharna Hotel, Larne, as their headquarters. The establishment, which is under the efficient personal superintendence of Mr. A. W. Holden. is undoubtedly one of the best in Larne, and visitors will find their material requirements well catered for. In addition to commercial, coffee, dining and drawing rooms. there is a large concert and ball room, promenade roof, tennis court and all the adjuncts of a really first class English or Continental hotel.

and this is what you got for your 2 guineas

For two guineas the can have six days hotel accommodation, including three meals daily. a first-class railway journey to Portrush and Giant's Causeway. a total distance of 180 miles, a coach drive to Glenoe Waterfalls, as trip to Whitehead and Blackhead, a drive round the city of Belfast, with free admission to the principal places. and a fifty mile coach drive to Glenarm, Camlough and Glenariff Falls, along the finest coast in the British Isles. The impression of the visitor to the Laharna Hotel can hardly fail to be that the enterprising host supplies his guest with a marvellous two guineas worth.

Purple Pub Officially known as the National Hotel, the Purple Pub was established in the early 1900s. The west wing was previously the Exchange Hotel in Croydon and was relocated here. Originally painted a light mauve in 1968, then a few shades darker in 1975, it gained its current purple in 1979, and now attracts tourists from all over. It’s one of the most photographed buildings in town. Normanton is the capital of the 68,111km2 Carpentaria Shire and part of the only sealed access to the Gulf of Carpentaria. The shire is as large as Tasmania and only has two towns. The town of Normanton was founded as a port for pastoral and mining ventures in 1870. Normanton is the third oldest town in Queensland north of Bowen and is home to the historic Gulflander Railway. Source: purplepub.com.au/about-us/

Normanton’s “Purple Pub” is built in the same wide veranda, high ceiling style, but is an unusual combination of two separately roofed buildings. I doubt it was called the purple pub when it was built in the late 1800s – purple wasn’t invented till way after that. It’s now the best-known landmark in town.
