The Border Watch

Community newspaper serving Mount Gambier and the Limestone Coast. Founded April 26, 1861 Country Press SA Newspaper of the Year 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2018. We're delighted to announce The Border Watch will resume printing on October 16, 2020. Former editor Brett Kennedy will return as managing editor to lead the masthead's relaunch alongside several of the old guard. Brett says the team feels a great sense of pride and privilege to be restoring a community service that has served Mount Gambier and the Limestone Coast so well for almost 160 years. The new owners are a partnership of independent newspaper proprietors from South Australia and Victoria - and they're 100% committed to backing the local team of journalists and media consultants. The next edition of The Border Watch will be on sale in newsagents and other outlets on Friday, October 16 and will initially be a weekly newspaper and website. There are plans to add a second print edition each week once the paper is re-established and to also resume printing The South Eastern Times.
