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

Read the full storyWhat a weekend, what an amazing showcase of local industry and talent! The Link2Country Expo was jam-packed with informative booths, sweet treats, giant agriculture equipment, trade experiences and even mock cattle auctions and just plain ol' whip-cracking fun.
So many schools turned out to see what their future could hold, and their arms - filled with goody bags - as the children tried out activities like honey-spinning and tractor pulling. Huge thank you to the organisers, sponsors, and all those who bought a ticket and enjoyed all the Expo had to offer, cant wait for next year!
The inaugural Link2Country Expo made a vibrant debut at the Ingham Showgrounds on 23 and 24 May, drawing crowds from across the Hinchinbrook region and beyond. Hosted by CANEGROWERS Herbert River in partnership with Hinchinbrook Shire Council and the Hinchinbrook Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Tourism, the two-day event proved a roaring success, shining a spotlight on agriculture, careers, and community spirit.
Festivities kicked off Friday morning, setting the tone for a weekend rich in energy, education, and inspiration. Over 500 students and general public explored hands-on agri-skills, cutting-edge technology like drones and VR.
Attendees connected directly with industry leaders offering career pathways across agriculture, trades, health, tourism, and more. The evening also held an official welcome by the Mayor of Hinchinbrook Ramon Jayo and the lovely ladies, Hannah and Nicole who organised the event, followed by live music and an open bar.
The Find Your Future in Hinchinbrook initiative, integrated into the Expo for the first time, was a standout feature that was offering job seekers live vacancies and application support. From excavator demonstrations and cattle handling to helicopter fly-ins and comedic performances from the beloved CrackUp Sisters, every corner of the showgrounds buzzed with opportunity and entertainment.
The Expo embodied the region’s commitment to building a resilient and locally supported workforce. As organisers and community groups reflect on the event’s success, it's clear that Link2Country has planted seeds of inspiration that will grow well beyond the weekend.
With strong community backing and regional participation, the future of agriculture and local industry is looking brighter than ever, see the expo in the Photo gallery here:
