About Us

The Bunyip is Gawler's weekly newspaper, first printed on September 5, 1863, and is also available in the Barossa, Light Regional, Playford, Adelaide Plains, Wakefield Regional, Clare and Gilbert Valley council areas. 

One of SA’s oldest newspapers, The Bunyip is based on the northern fringe of metropolitan Adelaide. Its distribution area is growing rapidly as the district experiences a massive population and housing boom.
Favoured by city commuters, Gawler boasts "the best of town and country”.
The Gawler region retains its country feel, with a widespread farming community and is the gateway town to the famous Barossa Valley wine region – also experiencing huge growth.
There is an urban feel to the town, but Gawler remains a major regional commercial hub with large shopping centres throughout the district and an extensive educational system.
A focus on equine-related pursuits – including thoroughbred racing, harness racing and leisure-based activities on local hobby farms – complements the many sporting clubs.
The Bunyip is part of the Taylor Group of Newspapers, with sister newspapers in the Riverland at Renmark (the Murray Pioneer), and Pinnaroo (The Border Times).
