Cosy Atmosphere And Collectables At The Conroy Hall Markets

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

Have You Tried Cardwell Parkrun?

May 6, 2025

By Victoria Velton

On the 26th of April, this journalist had the joy of experiencing Cardwell's Park Run course for the first time. There was a small crowd of eight locals, myself and my carpool buddy Steven. So, as the sun rose and bathed the Foreshore in a warm light we set off, all eager to place in the top ten.

I found the run to be enjoyable as the scenery was spectacular and the course was quite flat. You either run right by the sparkling water or through a beautiful shaded wetland forest with the 'shushing' of the waves and twittering birdsong keeping the beat as you run.

When I crossed the finish line to cheers, it was a relief to be handed a cold Zooper Dooper and laugh as Steven made it across the finish not soon after. We all had a drink at the Seabreeze Cafe Lounge afterwards and overall it was a joyful and refreshing morning, I highly recommend it!

Park Run Results: 3rd May 2025
Cardwell - 24 participants.
Fastest time: 19:32 | Finishers time: 56:03
Palm Creek - 21 participants.
