Few things capture the relaxed charm of Mission Beach quite like a morning stroll through the local markets.
Set beneath the shade of towering trees at Ulysses Day Park and just steps from the beach, the Mission Beach Markets have become a much-loved community institution, bringing together locals, visitors and stallholders in one of the region's most picturesque locations.
Operated by Rotary Mission Beach, the markets are held on the first and third Sunday of every month throughout the year.
They will be held on Sunday, 21st June, offering the perfect excuse to get out of the house, support local businesses and enjoy everything the Cassowary Coast community has to offer.
With up to 100 stalls spread throughout the beachfront parkland, visitors can browse fresh fruit and vegetables, handmade jewellery, locally crafted gifts, plants, books, clothing, artwork and second-hand treasures, while enjoying freshly prepared food, coffee and tropical treats.
Part of what makes the markets so special is the atmosphere. Locals catch up with friends over breakfast, travellers passing through the region showcase their products, and visitors from around the world experience a slice of authentic community life in Mission Beach.
The markets have also become an important platform for small businesses, artists, makers and community groups, helping support local enterprise while creating a vibrant social hub for residents and tourists alike.
In a region blessed with natural beauty, the Mission Beach Markets are one of those simple experiences that remind people what community is all about; local people supporting local businesses in a stunning tropical setting. Whether you're hunting for a unique gift, stocking up on fresh produce, or simply looking for a pleasant way to spend a Sunday morning, the Mission Beach Markets are well worth a visit.
The 2026 Australian UFO Festival will return to Cardwell from 6th to 9th August, bringing four days of entertainment, guest speakers, markets, live music and extraterrestrial intrigue to the Cassowary Coast.
The countdown is officially on for the 2026 Australian UFO Festival, with organisers confirming a packed four-day program that is expected to once again draw visitors from across Queensland and beyond to the Cassowary Coast.
Running from 6th to 9th August in Cardwell, the festival has grown into one of the region's most recognisable events, combining mystery, entertainment and community in a way few festivals can match.
The Queensland Government has recognised the festival's significance, supporting the event through Tourism and Events Queensland's Homegrown Fund.
Queensland Environment, Tourism and Science Minister Andrew Powell said the festival plays an important role in showcasing both Cardwell and the wider Cassowary Coast.
"It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the Australian UFO Festival, an event that celebrates the energy and diversity of the Cassowary Coast," Mr Powell said.
"The Queensland Government is proud to support the Australian UFO Festival through Tourism and Events Queensland's Homegrown Fund, which backs events developed in our state and helps connect them with the unique destinations they call home.
“Homegrown events play an important role in showcasing new ideas, celebrating culture, and creating memorable experiences for visitors, all while contributing to Queensland's vibrant and diverse events calendar."
The minister also encouraged festival-goers to take advantage of everything the region has to offer during their stay.
"Beyond the Australian UFO Festival, there is so much to see and experience in the Cassowary Coast. I encourage visitors to take the opportunity to explore the area and enjoy the wide range of tourism opportunities that Queensland has to offer."
The official festival program has now landed, featuring a diverse lineup of events including the popular C-Files Forum, Galactic Roll-Off Barefoot Bowls, Films on the Foreshore, Alien Abduction Night, Alliance of Earthlings, the C-Files Tour, Alien Invasion Foreshore Party and Monster Market Day.
Family-friendly entertainment will also feature prominently, including appearances from Superconscious Dave, who will bring interactive activities and children's entertainment to the festival throughout the weekend. For those keen to start planning their visit, the full list of confirmed events can be found in our official Cassowary Coast Life Event Guide on page 12.
In perfect timing, skywatchers across Queensland recently found themselves looking upward after reports of a Chinese rocket launch created a bright plume visible from parts of the state. Social media quickly filled with photos and speculation as residents debated whether the mysterious light was a rocket, a UFO, or something else entirely.
While the answer turned out to be firmly earthbound, the sighting has only added to the excitement surrounding Australia's only dedicated UFO festival.
Whether you're a lifelong believer, a curious sceptic or simply looking for an unforgettable weekend by the waterfront, Cardwell is once again preparing to welcome visitors for what has become one of the Cassowary Coast's most unique and talked-about events. And with another mystery recently spotted in the skies above Queensland, festival organisers might argue there has never been a better time to keep looking up.

Showgoers can also take advantage of online ticket sales through TryBooking, making it easier than ever to secure entry before the gates open.
Visitors can look forward to horse and cattle competitions, sugarcane displays, poultry exhibits and the ever-popular tractor pull.

The Show Office is located on the right-hand side.

A game of pass the parcel was enjoyed by the children. Photo supplied
St Peter’s recently celebrated Under 8’s Day with a delightful Teddy Bears Picnic, and it was a wonderful morning filled with laughter, creativity and excitement. Students arrived with their favourite teddy bears, ready to take part in a wide range of hands-on activities.
The children enjoyed making delicious treats such as biscuits and fairy bread, while others explored their creative side through painting and threading. There were also plenty of classic games, including pass the parcel and the ever popular “Pin the Ears on the Teddy Bear,” which brought smiles and giggles all around.
Students also had the opportunity to plant their own seedlings to take home, encouraging a love of nature and responsibility. Even wet play activities added to the fun, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy.

The morning concluded with a relaxed picnic, where students shared their snacks with friends and their cuddly companions. This was followed by storytime, along with joyful dancing and singing that had everyone joining in.
It was truly a special event that brought our youngest learners together in a fun and engaging way. Everyone had a fantastic time, making it an exciting and memorable morning for all involved.

The Herbert River Museum advises that it will temporarily close from Monday 22nd June 2026 to allow for essential repairs to damage caused by the 2025 flood event.
At this stage, a reopening date has not been confirmed. It is anticipated that the museum will remain closed for approximately two to three months while works are undertaken.
The museum will provide updates on the progress of repairs and advise the community when a reopening date has been determined.
The Herbert River Museum thanks the community for its understanding and support during this period.
Arial views of communities made though crafts by the St Peters P-2 students. Examples see buttons used to show crops in gardens, and matchsticks to indicate a bridge over a blue cellophane waterway.
St Peter’s students in Years P–2 have been exploring what makes a community through an engaging hands-on learning project. Over recent weeks, classes have focused on understanding different types of communities, including rural areas such as Halifax, while identifying key features like schools, houses, parks, shops, libraries, churches, roads and water supplies.
Using recyclables, craft materials and their imagination, students researched and designed their own bird’s-eye-view models of rural communities. The activity encouraged creativity while helping students recognise how important landmarks and spaces are organised within a community.
The project also supports early geography skills, as students learn to interpret maps, globes, and images. By locating where they live within Australia and connecting it to a broader global context, students are developing a deeper understanding of place and scale.
The project highlights how hands-on learning can bring geography to life in meaningful and memorable ways.
This Week On The Herbert In 1893
The Ripple Creek Provisional School opened on 19 June 1893. It closed in 1994 after 100 years of operation.
Sugar isn’t just part of the scenery here, it’s the spine of the region. Macknade Mill, established in 1873, is Queensland’s oldest continuously operating raw sugar mill, while Victoria Mill, opened in 1883, remains one of the state’s largest producers. Together, they shaped settlement patterns, transport routes and generations of livelihoods.
Cane trains still thread through paddocks and town edges, especially atmospheric at golden hour when sunsets paint glorious backdrops over the endless fields. It’s industrial history in motion and irresistible for photographers. Always shoot from public roads, stay rail-safe and never cross active lines.
Pair a self-guided heritage drive with deli stops and a Lucinda sunset and you’ve tasted Hinchinbrook’s backbone without stepping inside a factory. Sweet, scenic and still very much at work. Plot a loop: hinchinbrookway.com.au

Herbert River Crushers Ladies Day was a huge success, with many fabulously dressed ladies turning out for the occasion. Drinks, live music by Michael Kauppila and plenty of good cheer kept spirits high throughout the afternoon, making it an event not to be missed.
