Looking back at Gawler’s history through the columns of the Bunyip Newspaper with Janette and Kay Boon from Wednesday 24th November 2021.

  • 150 years ago the Bunyip was outraged by “rascally conduct”
  • 100 years ago a final notice from the taxation department raised sniggers of amusement in the Gawler Corporation
  • 50 years ago concerns were expressed about fire danger,
  • 25 years ago students were calling for action on speedsters, and
  • 10 years ago a near drowning was cause of concern.

 Kay and Janette also discussed the Gawler Then and Now image titled Marine Dealer.
