Support The Echo
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.

THANK YOU MANDY!!!!! This company, f*&kng W)(*&&^^%rths – is just sooooo insidious. And Oligolopy is what they call them. And people just don’t seem to SEEEEE what is going on right in front them. But f*&kng W)(*&&^^%rths – and their mates C*!es – are taking themselves into communities all around Australia – I have recently been to Philip Island, now in Torquay/Geelong and just talking with someone this morning about the lack of farmers markets here but guess what, they are building another Coles. Well thank god for that, we’ll all be saved ..
But I hadn’t heard about this latest venture of theirs – just about to post your video.
Thanks for being on the ground, getting it out there, and keeping on keeping on. Love ya lots x
