Jerilderie Herald and Urana Advertiser

The Jerilderie Herald and Urana Advertiser, later published as the Jerilderie-Coleambally Herald and Urana Advertiser, was a weekly newspaper published in Jerilderie, New South Wales, Australia.

[2] In 1969 its name changed to Jerilderie-Coleambally Herald and Urana Advertiser, and it was published under this name until the newspaper ceased publication in 1972.

In 1885 it was bought by William Elliott, a local schoolmaster, who then ran the paper until his death in 1934.

[4] The account, based on Elliott's diaries and recollections, was published in serial form in 35 parts over 9 months from 4 July 1913 to 3 April 1914.

[5][6] His account is notable as it records his conversation with Joe Byrne where Byrne told Elliott the route the gang had taken to reach Jerilderie,[7] and being based on Elliott's diaries has been identified as one of the main primary sources relating to the Jerilderie raid.
