History

The Richmond River Herald was first published on 9 July 1886 by Louis Ferdinand Branxton Benaud, the great-uncle of Richie Benaud. [1] The first issue was almost never printed as the office and newspaper plant had been in flames a few hours before it was due to be printed. [2] Louis Benaud made a career out of advocating for Coraki's interests and in the third issue the Herald argued for Coraki's incorporation into a municipality. [3]

The Richmond River Herald ceased publication on 26 June 1942. [4]
