(Redirected from The Richmond River Herald And Northern Districts Advertiser) Former newspaper in New South Wales, Australia

The Richmond River Herald and Northern Districts Advertiser was a newspaper published in Coraki, New South Wales, Australia from 1886 until 1942.

History

The Richmond River Herald was first published on 9 July 1886 by Louis Ferdinand Branxton Benaud, the great-uncle of Richie Benaud. The first issue was almost never printed as the office and newspaper plant had been in flames a few hours before it was due to be printed. Louis Benaud made a career out of advocating for Coraki's interests and in the third issue the Herald argued for Coraki's incorporation into a municipality.

The Richmond River Herald ceased publication on 26 June 1942.

Digitisation

The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program project of the National Library of Australia.
