History
Most of the published material in the first twenty years of the New South Wales colony was to inform residents of the rules and laws on the time. These were printed with a portable wooden and iron printing press. Since half of the convicts of the time were not able to read, it was compulsory for these notices to be read at Sunday church services. [1]
On the November 22, 1800 George Howe arrived in Australia. George "Happy" was born in the West Indies, although his father had been a native of Ireland. [2] In London George had worked in the print industry for several newspapers including The Times but sent to New South Wales after being charged with shoplifting, a crime which was also punishable by hanging.

In March 1803 Howe started production on Australia's first newspaper, the Sydney Gazette. While being filled much with government notices, there was an abundance of news to report in the burgeoning colony. An extract from the paper about the first Koala to be captured told of the "graveness of the visage", which "would seem to indicate a more than ordinary portion of animal sagacity". [3] Binomial name Phascolarctos cinereus (Goldfuss, 1817) The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a thickset arboreal marsupial herbivore native to Australia, and the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae. ...
One newsgathering technique Howe used for local content was to hang a 'slip box' outside the store where the Gazette was published to let the publish suggest stories. International news arriving via sea was printed usually ten to fourteen weeks out-of-date.
The Sydney Gazette was the only paper published until 1824 when William Charles Wentworth began publishing the colony's first privately owned newspaper, The Australian (no connection with the current paper The Australian, which was established by Rupert Murdoch in 1964). [4] 1824 was a leap year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ...
