- CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR GREETINGS -

The Echo team hopes everyone has enjoyed a fun filled Christmas and have purchased the latest Echo for your holiday reading. Look for Santa and his helpers on the cover.

The team proudly participated in this year's Barunga West pageant and here are a couple of photos.

We're still looking for high quality cover photos for 2026. The January issue will feature a beauty by local photographer Nick Turra.

Happy New Year everyone!

- REMINDER -

Our cut off day for submissions to the Echo is the fifteenth of each month so you have just three days to get your articles, adverts, stories, photos and community events to the team. We are always looking for high quality, high resolution cover photos, in portrait format. You will see by our previous cover photos that we require a space at the top for the magazine's title and similar space at the bottom for text. The team gets a little bit excited when we receive your submissions.

- A REMINDER -

Thanks everyone for the articles, stories and adverts already submitted for the December edition. Just a reminder that to make the process much easier for the Echo vollies, we would appreciate your articles and stories in Word format, yes, just plain old Word. We respectfully request that you don't underline text, add borders, add bold or coloured wording or fancy decorations as these do not fit with the program the layout team uses for the magazine. If submitting photos or logos, please submit them separately from the article (definitely not embedded in the article) as embedding or attaching the photo/s to the actual article makes it very difficult and sometimes impossible for the team to manoeuvre or remove them for placing into the mag. We really appreciate your assistance on this.
