Bi-monthly community magazine with local news and events 

Welcome to The Bridge

“The Bridge”  is a community publication made by the community, for the community. We are a team of volunteers with an interest in communication, design, community, the environment and open, creative expression.

The Bridge is a resource for the Communities of Balnarring, Balnarring Beach, Bittern, Crib Point, Flinders, French Island, Merricks, Merricks Beach, Point Leo, Red Hill, Shoreham, Somers and Tuerong. 

Its creation was inspired by a need for community organisations to communicate with: each other, the general community and our visitors. 

The Bridge aims to build a sense of connection and promote a resilient community by inspiring and encouraging environmental, social and financial sustainability. It aims to build a sense of community values and self-governance.

It covers broad community interests such as the arts, events, the natural and built environment, employment, health and safety, schooling, sports, volunteering, business, spirituality, individual expression and sustainability.

Launched in November 2012, the first issue successfully engaged an audience of more than 2200 readers and now has hundreds of contributors.
