After months of planning, writing, designing and gathering the stories that make our community special, we are incredibly excited to officially relaunch Tonny Times!

And what a return it is — our new digital edition has grown to an enormous 78 pages, far bigger than we ever anticipated! 💙

Inside, you’ll find local stories, familiar faces, community achievements, school celebrations, businesses, events and plenty of the people and moments that make Tongala such a wonderful place to call home.

🏉🏐 Sport fans are in for something particularly special, with 38 pages of incredible Murray Football Netball League coverage, thanks to the enormous efforts of Sienna Johnstone, with valued contributions from Tom Holman and Rohan Aldous.

From the MFL’s Top 50 footballers and netballers to Rising Stars, magic milestones, season highlights and an extensive celebration of Tongala Football Netball Club’s 2026 campaign — it is a huge tribute to football and netball across our region.

The return of Tonny Times has been made possible with the support of our advertisers, contributors, clubs, schools, organisations and community members who trusted us with their stories.
