Cardwell Easter Markets

Easter Saturday saw a healthy gathering down on the foreshore for the Cardwell Easter Markets. Plants, jerky, books, art and great food with live music were all on offer for the crowds.  

The crab races are always a crowd favourite and if you didn't win but still had a hankering for seafood, there were fresh oyster shooters available to shot before you took a walk down the jetty and enjoyed the scenic views of Hinchinbrook Island.
