165 years of community news
The Deniliquin Pastoral Times was the first newspaper in the Riverina, and one of the first provincial newspapers in NSW.
When its first edition was published on May 26, 1859 there was no newspaper upriver nearer than Albury, and none downriver between here and Adelaide.
Despite having various competitors throughout a history that now spans 165 years, the Pastoral Times remains one of the longest serving newspapers in regional NSW.
To mark our 165th year, the PT team has produced a souvenir publication to celebrate our history and our connection with the community. It is inserted in today’s edition.
You can read all about our establishment and growth, and that of many of the local groups, businesses and clubs we still share news about today.
