The Blue Mountain Echo

The paper, published from 1909-1939, changed names several times in its history.

Following his retirement, Robert Villiers Smythe took over management and remained with the paper as editor until November 1928.

With new management came a change of name, as the paper was published from 1929 as The Blue Mountain Star.

[5] The Blue Mountain Star was edited by Victor Yeoman Mathias during its brief publication history, before it was absorbed into the Katoomba Daily in 1932.

Other editors included Austin Mays, Sydney Lochlan Ward and Edmund Joseph Collins.
