The Lockhart Review and Oaklands Advertiser

The newspaper was established on 4 July 1908 by Arthur Clague Cowin, who emigrated from the Isle of Man to Australia in 1902.

[1][2] Cowin had arrived in the nearby town of Urana in 1906 in response to the offer of £100 from residents to start up a newspaper.

He arrived a day late but then was advised by some locals he was staying with in Murrumburrah to start up a newspaper in Lockhart instead.

On 14 January 1936, the newspaper dropped its subtitle "and Oaklands Advertiser" which was transferred to the neighbouring newspaper Urana Shire Advocate managed by Cowin's son A. G. (George) Cowin.

[1] George Cowin closed down The Lockhart Review on 6 July 1954 to W.A.
