What Is Port Lincoln Times?

Updated

Port Lincoln Times (portlincolntimes.com.au) is a local news and information website covering Port Lincoln and the surrounding Eyre Peninsula region of South Australia. It publishes reporting across news, sport, travel, entertainment, community notices, and business, and offers both a free registered email newsletter and paid subscription options for full access.

What the site covers

The homepage and navigation point to these main sections:

  • News – local reporting, including community announcements and regional affairs
  • Sport – results, club awards, and athlete profiles from around Port Lincoln
  • Travel – features on things to see and do in the region
  • Entertainment – events and local culture
  • Eyre Magazine – a magazine-style section
  • Community News – notices and local interest items
  • Competitions – reader contests
  • In Business – business-related coverage
  • SA Government – government news relevant to South Australia

Recent headlines visible on the site include a free pop-up skin check clinic, nominations for the Governor's Multicultural Awards, local netball and football club award nights, and a weekly Barngarla Word of the Week feature. This mix shows the site functions as a general local paper rather than a single-topic publication.

Who it is for
