The Castlereagh (Gilgandra)

[1] The Back to Gilgandra – Souvenir Booklet[2] states that The Castlereagh was produced as a four-page weekly, but the first issue of the newspaper was 12 pages long.

By this stage, the masthead bore the subtitle "Circulating throughout Gilgandra, Curban, Collie, Gular, Armatree, Tooraweenah, Balladoran & Mundooran Districts".

[2] The Castlereagh Liberal was printed for approximately one year before commercial pressures forced its owners to sell.

In October 1915, the masthead changed to Gilgandra Weekly, with a short note underneath reading, "with which is incorporated 'The Castlereagh Liberal'".

(Harold) Campbell, who began his career as an apprentice on the Gilgandra Weekly in 1914, and went on to own many regional newspapers.

In November 1929, the titles were amalgamated and produced under the combined masthead of The Gilgandra Weekly and Castlereagh.
