Cosy Atmosphere And Collectables At The Conroy Hall Markets

By Victoria Velton I had the pleasure of visiting the Conroy Hall Market, and it was a real treat. I wandered through tables of vibrant handmade goods, admired the lush array of plants, and couldn’t resist taking home a delicious sponge cake. The friendly stallholders made it feel like a true community hub, and I only wished I’d stayed longer to enjoy the live music from the choir. If you haven’t been yet, the next Conroy Hall Market is on Saturday, 9 August, from 7:30am to 11:30am at

A Minute With The Mayor Ramon Jayo

May 20, 2025

Ingham Showgrounds will come alive this Friday and Saturday with the hosting of the Inaugural “Link 2 Country Expo", an industry event designed at showcasing the abundance of opportunity for work and career pathways that exist in rural communities such as Hinchinbrook.

You will wander through many trade stands offering great deals on matters of interest to you, such as trade tools, boating and other everyday life accessories, and take part in live demonstrations on basic matters such as how to change a tyre, right up to flying drones, as an emerging career opportunity.

The career opportunities are immense, and you will see it all clearly displayed through "Find Your Future in Hinchinbrook" that is on show at this tremendous event.

Want to learn line dancing or maybe whip cracking? Then classes are available for that too. There will be a lot of entertainment for the kids as well, including a kids pedal tractor pull event, and rides for the children’s pleasure.

And don't forget the little farmers fancy dress competition! Prizes will be awarded for the most creative "farm inspired costumes" so let’s see what you’ve got!

There is much to see and do over the two day event and on behalf of our community, I must congratulate Nicole Chiesa and her associates on pulling such a tremendous event together.

The work that has gone into the planning and preparations to make the event as socially and recreationally interactive, with plenty of business networking opportunity, is inspiring and the public looking to the future will benefit from the wares on offer throughout both days.

The expo commences 9am Friday 23 May 2025. The program for the two days is available at www.link2country.com.au and tickets may also be purchased through this website.

We truly have a lot to offer in this district and this expo will bring it all out. So, let’s hook in and support the event and showcase our work and lifestyle to the world. I look forward to seeing you there.
