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

Read the full storyGood news for the Dungeness and Lucinda community with the completion of Stage 1 renovations at the Channel Inn, marked by the much-anticipated re-opening of the Channel Inn Shop. A sister business to the locally owned Lucinda Store, run by the Fortini family, the shop’s return is a modest yet meaningful boost for locals, day-trippers, and visitors passing through on their way to the boat ramp.
The shop is now more spacious and better stocked, offering a range of goods designed to meet the needs of both the local community and those heading out on the water. You'll find boating essentials such as life jackets, flares, anchors, winch handles, ratchet straps, bait, crab pots and fishing tackle, alongside everyday conveniences like grocery essentials, cold drinks, barista-made coffee, and grab-and-go food including hotbox items, fresh sandwiches, ready-made antipasto platters and deli goods.
To make meal planning easier for those staying in the area, enjoy a handy range of house-made frozen pizzas, ravioli, frozen seafood, and locally sourced meat from Chiesa Butchers. There’s also a large walk-in bottleshop fridge to quench that traveller’s thirst!
The Channel Inn Shop also provides 24-hour access to fuel bowsers and bags of ice. With regular store trading hours of 6am to 6pm, they offer early access for early risers and boaties getting a head start on the day.
The Fortini family’s continued investment in Lucinda and Dungeness reflects their deep, local ties and quiet commitment to keeping the essentials close to home. This re-opening is just the beginning of a bigger plan for the Channel Inn, and locals are already excited for what’s still to come but for now, it’s great to see the lights back on at the Channel Inn Shop.
