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.

Representatives from Community Recovery and Lifeline are available at the Centre Monday to Friday, with other government agency representatives having a presence there on a periodic basis. The community are encouraged to visit the Centre if they are still seeking assistance with matters such as assistance to complete Government Grant applications. This includes Support for Business, financial counselling, wellness coach, GIVIT assistance, Legal Aid, enquiries relating to rebuilding guidelines or any assistance relating to how the recovery process in the Hinchinbrook Shire can support local residents.
As the weeks are passing and the weather improves, preparation for the cane harvest, event and tourist visitation season is well underway. This increased activity in the farming, milling, sporting and hospitality sectors will assist the community in continuing the recovery journey back to the “new normal” of life post event.
Showcasing all the wonderful attractions on offer in the Shire, through several national television shows that have filmed and live broadcast from around the district, facilitates communications to the wider national audience, reminding them Hinchinbrook is ready and excited to again welcome visitors back for another year.
It is indeed encouraging to witness the return of sporting and social competitions, art and culture and the start of the major event season. These social outings provide the community with opportunities to reconnect, share experiences and enjoy more optimistic occasions with each other.
These progressions by no means suggest that the community has overcome all the challenges they have been facing during and since the weather event. However, as we navigate the pathway to full recovery, it is important to acknowledge what has been experienced, plan what can be improved and essential to have a positive vision for the future that can be worked toward achieving.
