- JULY EDITION -

Oh my goodness, the Echo team has been on point this month and the July edition is in the shops already. Look for Joey and the jetty on the cover. This edition includes a story on the king tide, the re-opening of the laundromat, the hospital's 50th birthday celebration, classic cars on the foreshore, the Class of '65 Reunion and Barunga West Council will have a new horse sculpture. There are all the usual stories covering environment, travel, sport, social, cultural and arts and all the local much needed news and information. And now we have two famous Harrys in the Echo!

- BE LIKE HARRY AND SHOW US YA CATCH! -

Here's Harry with the salmon he caught recently. If you've been fishing, crabbing, yabbying or maybe catching bloodworms or a sh*tty from the jetty, and would like to share a photo of your catch with the Echo readers, please email your photo/s to the team at [email protected]. Don't be shy, be like Harry and send in your photo!

This month we have stories on Pat C**k, Tiahana Yates; Auslan teacher at PBAS, and the Governor's visit to Barunga West Council. The winner of June's PBAS creatives is revealed, there's sport and recreation, and a very interesting history story. Look for the Echo with the Monarch butterfly on the cover.
