History

The publication began life as the Seasider (August 1956 – 19 September 1963).[3] The masthead title stated that it was "Circulating throughout Port Noarlunga, Christies Beach, McLaren Vale, Reynella, Moana, Morphett Vale, McLaren Flat, Willunga, Noarlunga, O'Halloran Hill and Happy Valley."[4] The publication was then renamed to The Southern Times: incorporating the Seasider (26 September 1963 - 30 May 1984), after which it was renamed Southern Times Messenger (6 June 1984 - present).[5]
