History

edit

The Sydney Stock and Station Journal was first published in 1888 by Robert MacMillan and the Stock Journal Newspaper Company Ltd.[1] The paper was also the journal of the Fat Stock Salesman's Association of New South Wales.[3] McMillan wrote under the name 'Gossip' and died in February 1929, aged 81.[4][5][6] In 1924 it was renamed as Country Life and Stock and Station Journal[7] and was published under this title until 1978. The paper was split into two editions National Country Life and National Country Life: Livestock Farming Edition until the publication ceased in May 1982.[8]

The newspaper served the rural areas of New South Wales, and promoted the arts including the works of Scottish-Australian poet and bush balladeer Will H. Ogilvie (1869–1963) and Adam Lindsay Gordon.[9]
