Hi Navi Brewarrina Historical Society lost a lot of its records when the Town Hall burnt down in the 1970's. You could put your request on the Bourke site and there may be someone from Bre who will see it and be able to answer your question. www.lisp.com.au/~michael/index.html Margaret Perth Western Australia [email protected] > Dear Listers, > > My Great grandfather John Northey ran a newspaper in Brewarrina with another > business partner.
