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 remarkable turnout of around 200 attendees filled the park, making it the largest anniversary event that the organisers had seen in many years.
The day was especially significant for the family of Eddie Albert Senior, a revered local hero. In a touching tribute, a special commemorative plaque was unveiled in his honour, recognising his extraordinary contributions and the combined 100+ years of military service from his children and grandchildren. Adding to this legacy, one of his great-grandchildren is preparing to join the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), carrying the family’s tradition of service into the next generation.
The ceremony was led with dignity and respect, presided over by two attending officers. The Official Address was delivered by Terry James, Member for Mulgrave, alongside Commander Andrew Thorpe of HMAS Cairns, RAN. The master of ceremonies, Chaplain Elisabeth Bolton, RAN, guided the proceedings with poise and reverence.
The atmosphere was enriched by the stirring sounds of a band that featured bass drums and bagpipes, adding a solemn and ceremonial tone to the event. Attendees participated in a commemorative prayer and wreath-laying ceremony, followed by the recitation of the Ode to Remembrance. In a powerful display of unity, both the American and Australian national anthems were sung, reflecting the enduring alliance that the Battle of the Coral Sea symbolises.
The event not only honoured the memory of those who fought but also celebrated the continued dedication to service shown by Eddie Albert Senior’s family and the wider community. As the plaque was unveiled, it was a poignant reminder that the sacrifices made during the Battle of the Coral Sea continue to resonate, inspiring new generations to honour and remember.
This year’s anniversary was not just a day of reflection but also one of community pride and resilience. It was clear that the spirit of remembrance remained strong, echoing through the music, speeches, and the heartfelt presence of those who gathered to pay tribute.
