Description
Hamilton Spectator - Front PageEstablished in 1859 by Thomas Wotton Sheville as the Hamilton Courier, it became the Hamilton Spectator and Grange District Advertiser in 1860, and later The Hamilton Spectator.
The Spectator serves a diverse region which is home to some 33,780 people. The newspaper is published Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The Spectator reaches the heartland of the wool, meat production (sheep and cattle), dairying, forestry, along with cereals and specialist seed growing industries.
There are about 10 million sheep within a 100 kilometre radius of the city. Hamilton really is at the centre of the southwest, ideally placed on the highways linked to Portland, Mount Gambier, Warrnambool and Horsham.
Tourism is a burgeoning area of development as the region is host to natural attractions like the Grampians and Wannon Falls. In town, there is the Hamilton Art Gallery, Ansett Museum and the Big Wool Bales.
The Spectator provides south west Victoria with the best and most comprehensive local news, sport and views coverage.
Each edition is filled with a variety of news articles, following the local events. In the district passionate for sport, the Spectator is the premier sports newspaper.
Coupled with classified columns, displaying sales, births, weddings, public notices, etc, The Spectator caters for a large selection of readership.
The Hamilton Spectator covers many towns, including – Ararat, Branxholme, Balmoral, Byaduk, Caramut, Casterton, Cavendish, Chetwynd, Coleraine, Condah, Dartmoor, Digby, Dunkeld, Edenhope, Glenthompson, Hamilton, Harrow, Hawkesdale, Heywood, Horsham, Koroit, Lake Bolac, Macarthur, Merino, Millicent, Mortlake, Mt. Gambier, Narrawong, Penshurst, Port Fairy, Portland, Stawell, Tyrendarra, Warrnambool, Westmere, Willaura, Winnap and Yambuk.Deadlines
