The Coonamble Times
Your Local Newspaper Serving Coonamble & district since 1885
It is illuminating, and humbling, to reflect on the trials and triumphs of our little local newspaper. To still be publishing as an independent, locally-owned small business after 140 years is remarkable by any measure. I tip my hat to the adventurous spirit of John Richardson McWilliam and his immediate family who saw opportunity in our district and gave their best efforts to the enterprise for almost forty years.
