The Burrangong Argus was an Australian newspaper based in Young, New South Wales, published twice-weekly from 1865 to 1913.
[16] Chris Watson, the first Labor Prime Minister of Australia, reputedly credited the support of the Argus for significantly assisting his first election to parliament.
[7] The Young Chronicle described the newspaper's politics as having been "independent at the start; then it favoured the Liberal side, and finally...took up the cudgels here on behalf of Labor".
[20] The Freeman's Journal described the Argus following its closure as "the only authentic record existing" of the earlier periods of the town's history.
[7] The Australian Town and Country Journal wrote that it "contributed largely towards the advancement of Young and the district around".
