WHO ARE WE?
Bonzer! was launched in July 2001 by Alan Wheatley, the Foundation Editor, assisted at that time by Bruce Seaman, Webmaster, and Christina Ratcliffe, Copy Editor, all of whom live in Melbourne, Australia. The launch was informal and no one quite knew where Bonzer! was heading.

Bonzer! was intended from the start to be a free, monthly online journal by, for, and about seniors. It was neither government funded nor had commercial backing, and at the beginning it was sited courtesy of Alan's I.S.P., Optus. Later, it became established on a site provided by the State Library of Victoria and the Community Development Fund.

Bonzer! is run by volunteer editors, writers and staff. It is still free and still appears on the first day of every month.
