Five years ago, in the midst of a pandemic, Manningham lost its local paper. It was a gap that was quickly felt — and one we couldn’t ignore.

So Manningham Life began.

Since then, we’ve told the stories of our community — celebrating the people and places that make Manningham what it is, and helping keep it informed and connected. From local heroes and community events to the issues that matter most — it’s all been about making sure our community has a voice.

Five years on, we’re still here. And we’re so grateful.

This week, we’re joining local publishers across Australia for Our News. Your Voice., a national campaign by the LINA - Local & Independent News Association for World Press Freedom Day. It’s a reminder that independent local news isn’t just “nice to have” — it’s essential community infrastructure.

If you’ve ever enjoyed a story, discovered an event, or felt more connected to Manningham through what we do, we’d love your support. However big or small, every contribution helps us continue this work.

Thank you for reading, supporting, and being part of this community.

As we await the re-entry of Artemis II, Stella (editor & publisher of Manningham Life) was lucky to see the moon up close recently at Australia’s only dark sky reserve. A trip to Murray Bridge turned into something quite special. She wrote about the experience here:

We don’t often stop to look up. But when we slow down and take in what surrounds us, it’s hard not to be in awe of the universe we belong to. It was a little serendipitous, really — that a trip to Murray Bridge, South Australia, a town I

Trees are part of what makes Manningham feel like home.

But how much do we really know about the rules around them?
