The Cobar Herald

The Cobar Herald was established in 1879 by T. A. Mathews (better known as the ‘King of Louth’).

[1] It is one of the earlier newspapers in the colony of New South Wales, commencing publication in 1879, twenty two years before the Federation of Australia.

The Cobar Herald changed hands a number of times over the years, and was owned by Hannay and Munro in the 1890s, with both acting as the newspaper’s editors during that time.

By the late 1920s the newspaper was known as the Western Age, and George Cornelius Maliphant and Sidney Frank Anderson owned and published the paper.

The last edition of The Cobar Age was published on 7 November 2012.
