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.

Read the full storyFor Rita, cooking has always been a part of life. Raised on a farm in a large family, she learned from a young age how to prepare meals in generous portions. Though she never professional trained in the field, her skills and dedication have made her an integral part of the Cardwell RSL community.
Rita began her journey at the Cardwell RSL after ANZAC Day in 2021. “I was an RSL member, and then the catering started as a voluntary thing,” she explains.
Rita and her husband, who is a returned serviceman, moved to Cardwell after frequently passing through the town while travelling up the coast. “We just liked it here. I think people are friendly, and I think it’s a really nice little town and strong community.”
Known for her welcoming personality and ability to create the most delicious dishes, Rita has certainly made an impact in the town.
Robert Lang, President of the Cardwell RSL, affectionately calls her the “Queen of Sticky Date Pudding.” Her salads are also a crowd favourite, appreciated for their variety, vibrant presentation, and, of course, their taste.
Currently, Rita works alongside a team of five women, all of whom she is immensely proud of.
“Everybody does their bit,” she says, grateful for their teamwork in keeping the operation running smoothly. The team takes pride in their community-driven approach, regularly updating the menu based on customer feedback.
They also keep prices affordable, ensuring the RSL remains accessible to everyone.
“We keep the price low because of the pensioners, we have elderly people who hardly ever go out of their homes but love coming here on Sundays. That’s my reward, to see them all get out and say, ‘Oh, I haven’t seen you for ages and it’s nice to see you again.’ It’s like a little meeting place.”
The Cardwell RSL is more than just a place to enjoy great food. It’s a vibrant, accessible and open-to-all venue that warmly welcomes the community. From Mother’s Day brunches to BBQ lunches, the RSL is the perfect place to host a variety of functions.
