Visited the State Library today, checking Moree Champion looked at newspaper catalog which is also available on-line there appear to have been a number of newspapers in Mudgee. Western Post started in 1861, amd apparently pushed the previous newspaper out of business as Annette Piper reported last week. Although this Western Post apparently continued for many years, only issues from 1861 to 1864 plus a few scattered later issues survived to be microfilmed, it would appear. There seems to be no surviving newspaper at all from the later 1860's, at least not in the state library records. Do anyone know otherwise ? Robert

Hi Robert The next microfilms I have access to are for the Mudgee Guardian from 1899-1910, (no 1911), then 1912. Nothing for anything in between 1864 and 1899.
