Looking back at Gawler’s history through the columns of the Bunyip Newspaper with Janette and Kay Boon from Wednesday 12th January 2022

• 150 years ago The Bunyip reported on a shocking death,
• 100 years ago the council was discussing the purchase of a street sweeper
• 50 years ago the Bunyip featured a story about a Bunyip,
• 25 years ago Publicans were raising concerns about a “pokie tax”
• 10 years ago there were concerns about the activities of a local firebug.

 Kay and Janette also discussed the Gawler Then and Now image. This week the photo is a 19th century view of Todd Street.
