Grab your vintage reading glasses and get ready to dive into the juicy world of Bathurst's newspaper history. Join the charming Kim Bagot-Hiller as she takes us on a wild ride through 179 years of local gossip and scandal, spanning titles like the Posts, Journals, Free Press, and Advocates. You can expect tales of court shenanigans, societal gossip, and maybe even a few eyebrow-raising moments that'll make you think today's headlines are pretty tame.

As a bonus treat, there will be a quick glimpse into Trove, thanks to our friends at Bathurst Library. So whether you're a history buff or just love a good yarn, come along for a relaxed afternoon packed with stories from the past. Mark your calendar for this free event, and why not bring along a mate or two for some lively banter about how things were definitely more interesting back in the day.
