Abstract

“Charles, helped by Thomas, began his first newspaper, the Macleay Herald published twice a week at East Kempsey and the first on the Macleay River [north coast, NSW]. Limited circulation and frequent floods ruined the plant; the project was abandoned and the brothers parted. Charles moved to Taree, where on 12 May 1869 he started the Manning River Times, which a century later still flourished over the Boyce name".
