From the cane fields of Macknade to bookshelves across Australia, Angelina Mastrippolito’s debut memoir Le Seconde: Inheriting the Unspoken has made an inspiring impact.

Read the full storyMarket goers and stallholders alike across the Hinchinbrook region are rejoicing following the confirmed return of the infamous Ingham Up Town Markets on Saturday the 22nd of March.
The Ingham Up Town Markets have been operating for many years with the event holding a special place on the fourth Saturday of each month from March to November. Running from 8am through to midday, the event invites members from the community to browse the impressive talents of their neighbours and enjoy a memorable market outing with family, friends and four-legged companions.
Over the past year, Julie Reed has been the friendly face behind the emails, coordinating stallholders, and overseeing the monthly event’s success following Barbra Raiteri stepping down from the role in 2023.
Unlike other markets you may come across, the Ingham Up Town Markets operates with a different approach and prides itself on hosting 100% local stallholders who retail 100% handmade products.
“We’re exclusive to legitimate makers, bakers, growers and sewers who live in the shire,” explained Julie.
“We don’t allow stallholders from out of town, so these markets are just local people supporting local shops.”
Running in Lannercost Street roughly between Lee’s Hotel and Rachel Cauchi Optometrists, the markets provide additional foot traffic to surrounding retailers and being an occasional stallholder herself, Julie highlights the mutual benefits the location provides for both businesses and stallholders.
“We’re really grateful for the support from the shops that allow us to set up in front of them and the markets bring added interest to the street, and that’s the point – to liven up the street a little bit more than normal,” shared Julie.
The Ingham Up Town Markets provides a variety of talented locals with the opportunity to showcase their handmade creations with the event hosting stalls specialising in a plethora of niches including glass art, machine embroidery, wooden replicas, candles, leatherwork, plants and more.
“January is quiet with no markets so we’re looking forward to March and all the stallholders are rearing to go,” added Julie.
