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.

This week's paper has a brand new monthly feature dedicated to Cardwell. Of course, we will print general Cardwell news every week as usual, but once a month we will now be running a special Cardwell spotlight.
Following my time there last week, I just wanted to personally shout out the town for doing so much in their community this month. Not only are they supporting local businesses for Small Business Month, but many went blue for Do It For Dolly Day this year and fundraised for the cause.
I had the joy of seeing the Cardwell State School children cover their favourite teachers faces in blue facepaint and draw kind messages on the ground by the Jetty. They were all good sports posing for the group photo and I could see they were having lots of fun wearing blue and running about.
After this fun experience, I had to dash off to a Small Business luncheon at Beachcombers Restaurant to represent the newspaper. The food was delightful, but sadly I couldn't try their signature blue Dolly Day cocktail as I had more driving to do. I hope those who did try it later that evening enjoyed it, it looked delicious!
