- AUGUST EDITION -

The Echo Team has put together another fabulous edition for August. Heidi tells us about her family's involvement in the Finke Desert Race, Michelle makes Brawn, Fiona travels to Alice Springs for the Beanie Festival and there's a flash-back to the sixties with a story about local band, The Telstars. We learn about local legend Bev Hewett, the Post Office revamp and the Bute Men's Shed 10th birthday celebration. And of course there's much, much more along with our regular community stories. Look for the Echo cover with the misty morning at Bute.

- JULY EDITION -

It's cold out, but we hope the July edition of the Echo will give you the warm and fuzzies! This month we have a story on Lorraine Greenfield OAM who was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the King's Honours. There's a wonderful story by Shaylah Axelby on her brilliantly curated art exhibition as part of her Year 12 studies. This month, PBAS students have upped the ante with six students entering their artworks in the PBAS Creatives. The Outback Postie Bike riders, Dylan and Richard are getting ready to take off again on another fundraising ride and there are memories of McDonald's Mini Zoo, Fiona completes the Hummocks Walking/Cycling Trail and do you remember the 'flying fox cash carriers'? Marcia tells all. Of course there are all our regulars and the Calamitous Cook drops her friend right in it! Look for the speccy sunset cover photo by Josie Edwards.

- JUNE EDITION -

Almost ready to go on the shelves, June's edition of the Echo is another beauty. Leading the highlights for this month is the SA Award won by Barunga West Council, for the Port Broughton Civic Square development. Marcia has a heartwarming and captivating story about Mr Perini, a ship jumper - a must-read story! Fiona takes a walk along Broughton Beach South, Greg and Penny travel along the Chilean Coast, John Cummins talks all things 'Team Cobber' supporting the RFDS in SA and Heidi tells us about the celebration of food, family and local community spirit at the IGA. And of course, there are our regulars, PBAS, PBAS Creatives, Environment, Sport and Community and much, much more. Look for the edition with the International Truck on the cover.
