The Northern Miner Charters Towers

The Northern Miner Charters Towers The Northern Miner Charters Towers is a part of the Townsville Bulletin. The Northern Miner is a publication owned by News Corp Australia.

The Northern Miner was first published in August 1872, just eight months after the discovery of gold in what is now the Queensland inland regional town of Charters Towers and published its final print edition on June 26, 2020. With a rich history to its credit, The Northern Miner survived during the boom days of gold mining in Charters Towers. It was the only newspaper of five once published on th

e goldfields, to survive the downturn in gold mining. Such was its strength in those gold mining days of the late 1880s that The Northern Miner installed a linotype slug casting machine before Brisbane’s Courier Mail. In 1910, The Northern Miner merged with the publication the Townsville Daily Bulletin, establishing a link that remains to this day. In 2000, The Northern Miner was linked electronically for the first time to the North Queensland Newspaper Company, and therefore News Limited’s electronic layout system, utilising Cyberpage and associated applications to completely produce editions of this historic newspaper from the same address occupied since 1878. In 2011, The Northern Miner entered cyberspace via Facebook and today has a digital only presence on the Townsville Bulletin website. Thank you for liking the official The Northern Miner page.

Our Story

The Northern Miner was first published in August 1872, just eight months after the discovery of gold in what is now the Queensland inland regional town of Charters Towers. With a rich history to its credit, The Northern Miner survived during the boom days of gold mining in Charters Towers. It was the only newspaper of five once published on the goldfields, to survive the downturn in gold mining. Such was its strength in those gold mining days of the late 1880s that The Northern Miner installed a linotype slug casting machine before Brisbane’s Courier Mail. Now serving a readership area as large as the size of Tasmania, The Northern Miner maintains its proud history within the industry in Queensland. In 2000, The Northern Miner was linked for the first time to the North Queensland Newspaper Company, and therefore News Limited’s electronic layout system, utilising Cyberpage and associated applications to completely produce editions of this historic newspaper from the same address occupied since 1874.
