Yorke Peninsula Country Times

Yorke Peninsula Country Times is a weekly South Australian newspaper, which was first published on 4 September 1968.[1] It was formed by the merging of Kadina, Wallaroo and Moonta Times and South Australian Farmer,[2] representing numerous former publications dating back to 1865.

History

Yorke Peninsula Country Times was created following a merger between Kadina, Wallaroo and Moonta Times and South Australian Farmer in August 1968.[3] As a result, the newspaper's website traces its origins through 13 previous publications back to February 1865.[4]

Kadina, Wallaroo and Moonta Times

This publication evolved through a number of changes, namely:

  • Wallaroo Times and Mining Journal (1 February 1865 - 31 December 1881)
  • Wallaroo Times (4 January 1882 - 28 July 1888)
  • Kadina and Wallaroo Times (1 August 1888 - March 1966)
    • In 1966, the newspaper merged with Moonta People's Weekly (29 September 1961 - 31 March 1966), which itself was a renamed version of an older publication, The People's Weekly (17 May 1890 - 22 September 1961).
  • Kadina, Wallaroo and Moonta Times (7 April 1966 - 29 August 1968)

South Australian Farmer

This publication evolved through a number of changes, namely:

  • Yorke's Peninsula Advertiser and Miners' News (4 October 1872 - 29 December 1874)
  • Yorke's Peninsula Advertiser and Miners' and Farmers' Journal (1 January 1875 - 9 July 1878)
  • Yorke's Peninsula Advertiser (12 July 1878 - 28 July 1922)
  • Yorke Peninsula Farmer (29 June 1923 - 20 January 1933)[5]
  • Farmer (27 January 1933 - 19 December 1947)[6]
  • South Australian Farmer (9 January 1948 - 28 August 1968)

In June 1970, the combined newspaper then absorbed the short-lived Yorke Peninsula News Pictorial (1969-1970), which was formed following the merger of The Pioneer (1898-1969) and Maitland Watch (1911-1969).

It is headquartered in Goyder Street, Kadina[7] and its weekly editions (published Tuesdays) are distributed across "the entire peninsula" from Port Broughton in the north to Stenhouse Bay in the south.[4][8]
