Looking back at Gawler’s history through the columns of the Bunyip Newspaper with Janette and Kay from Wednesday 31st August 2022

150 years ago the paper features a story about a Women’s strike, 100 years ago a tragic death is reported on, 50 years ago the theft of cigarettes makes news, 25 years ago a wombat is rescued, and ten years ago there is a story about a remarkable learner driver.

The Gawler Now and Then image is of the Hutchinson Hospital 1912.
