History
The Port Broughton Echo’s main intention is to inform the community and promote local businesses, bringing the two together to support our region.
The Port Broughton Echo was originally created by William John George and James Sisely in 1887, and was printed by the Northern Argus in Clare, South Australia. It was then renamed Broughton Echo from 1887 to 1888 but ceased publication soon after.
More than a century later, the Port Broughton Echo was reborn in 1993. Twenty nine years on, in 2022, a new committee of volunteers was born who have created a new look and feel, with the key goal to connect community members and local businesses.
The Port Broughton Echo acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Isander peoples today.

WHAT'S NEW IN THE ECHO 〰️
- CHANGES AT THE ECHO -
Around October this year you will notice a difference in the format of the Echo. The program which the Team currently uses to prepare the Echo will no longer exist so we are working madly to learn a new program to continue bringing a high quality magazine to you.
You will notice some changes but we hope you will appreciate the Team's diligence and volunteer time in learning the program and that you will love the new look mag as much as we love bringing it to you. We'll keep you updated on progress over the next few months.
Port Broughton Echo proudly supports our sponsors. We also promote events that enhance and benefit the community.
Thanks to our sponsors
