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

The Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre (HCSC) Seniors Morning Coffee Club proudly hosted an amazing Christmas in July celebration, bringing together seniors from across our region for a day of good food, fun, and festive cheer. What began as a planned gathering for 80 quickly grew to a sold-out event, welcoming 120 guests who filled the Noorla Bowls Club in Ingham to capacity.

Read the full storyOn Thursday 10 July, the Cardwell RSL became a vital hub of information and support as more than 35 residents and service representatives gathered for the Cardwell Community Rebuild Info Session. Organised by Centacare FNQ, the evening brought together key organisations supporting North Queenslanders affected by the 2025 floods and now in the rebuilding phase.
The session was hosted in partnership with Centacare’s Disaster Recovery and Resilience Hub, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC), Legal Aid Queensland, ICAN Financial Counselling, Community Recovery, Rural Financial Counselling Service, Tully Support Centre, and Cardwell RSL. Food and the venue were generously provided by the Cardwell RSL, with Centacare coordinating staff and logistics.
Attendees heard from expert speakers on a range of critical topics; including builder and contractor engagement, legal support for insurance negotiations, financial counselling, and access to grants through Queensland’s disaster recovery hubs. Mental health support was also available through Centacare staff.
The canteen area was transformed into an informal networking space where residents could speak directly with service providers following the presentations. Printed materials and note-taking tools helped residents retain key information, while discussions continued well after the formal part of the event concluded.
This session marked an important step in helping flood-affected residents navigate the complexities of rebuilding. Resources and advice were tailored to meet the practical needs of homeowners facing decisions around repairs, legal options, insurance processes, and financial assistance.
"The knowledge passed on to all attendees was invaluable. This, in turn, would be spread throughout the community. We are grateful for the information presented by these very professional instructors. And a special thanks to Patrick Sim for organising the event." - Robert Lang, President of the Cardwell RSL Sub-Branch
Future community sessions are already being explored, with an emphasis on topics such as navigating builder quotes and assessments, insurance timelines, and accessing temporary accommodation during extended rebuilds. The goal remains clear: support Cardwell locals with the knowledge, tools, and connections they need to confidently move forward.
With organisations working together and residents showing resilience and determination, Cardwell’s recovery is well underway, and this session is just one example of community-led progress in action.
