The Dandenong StarJournal is a newspaper in south-eastern Melbourne, based in Dandenong. It was called the "South Bourke and Mornington Journal" from 1865 until 25 August 1927.

Contents

Initially published in Richmond, Victoria until 1920, it has since been published in Dandenong. [1] The Journal was likely originally named for the state electorates of South Bourke and Mornington (the land south of the Yarra and west of Dandenong Creek, except for the city and inner south east; plus the Mornington Peninsula and Westernport Bay areas).

The paper was partially digitised as part of a World War I commemoration project. [2] The digitised issues of the South Bourke and Mornington Journal are available on Trove with coverage from 10 January 1877 - 23 December 1920. [1]
