Yorke Peninsula Country Times

The Yorke Peninsula Country Times is a newspaper based in South Australia that began its journey on September 4, 1968. It came into existence through the merger of the Kadina, Wallaroo and Moonta Times and the South Australian Farmer, drawing on the rich history of 13 earlier publications, the oldest of which dates back to February 1865. Located in Kadina, this weekly newspaper is published every Tuesday and is circulated throughout the entire Yorke Peninsula, reaching areas from Port Broughton in the north to Stenhouse Bay in the south.
