  • Murray Bridge Took Its Time to Cross Publishing Barriers
    PANPA Bulletin, March 2005, pp.58-59. Murray Bridge took its time to cross publishing barriers By Rod Kirkpatrick With the roll call of Australian newspapers that have reached their 150th birthday growing almost by the month – four have attained that milestone since last May – it is fascinating to find that a significant printing centre such as Murray Bridge in South Australia has had a newspaper for only 70 years. Murray Bridge, on the lower reaches of the Murray River, has had various names over the years: Coninka, Edward’s Crossing, The Turnoff, and Mobilong. Murray Bridge was not gazetted until 1940, but the town was part of Mobilong District Council from 1884 and the town area became a Corporation in 1924, with the outlying areas remaining in the Mobilong council. The name was chosen because the first bridge over the Murray was completed there in 1879. Incidentally, the current bridge, the 734-metre-long Swanport Bridge, was completed precisely 100 years later. Until 1934, Murray Bridge people had to rely on outside newspapers for news of their significant little town. The earliest newspaper in the wider district was the Southern Argus, launched at Port Elliott on March 17, 1866, and published at Strathalbyn since 1868. More significantly, the Mount Barker Courier was established on October 1, 1880, by Charles Morris Russell Dumas. Its coverage of Murray Bridge varied until 1909 when Dumas announced in February that he was going to establish an up-to-date printing and publishing office in Murray Bridge before the end of the month. The Courier began presenting a “Murray Bridge News” section, a widened its scope a little from July 16 that year by labelling it “Murray Bridge and River News”.
