4. What are your column dimensions?
Our newspapers are most commonly on a 38cm x 7column format for Early General News. Most classifieds are either a 38cm x 8column format or 38xm x 4column format. These may vary slight from publication to publication - please check each paper listing for exact measurements.

5. What are your booking/material deadlines?
It is difficult to generalise with booking and material deadlines, as all newspapers are different. It is perhaps safe to say, weekly newspapers have an early booking and material deadline of 3 days prior as they print so early. Paid newspapers are generally a 3 day prior booking deadline with a 2 day material deadline. However, please check individual paper listings.

6. Can we run spot and full colour?
Yes, we love running colour advertisements! Check individual newspaper listings or contact our office regarding costs and page numbering.

7. Can we run catalogues? Are there size restrictions?
Yes we can insert catalogues in our newspapers. The only size restrictions are that they are no larger than tabloid size and their weight does not exceed 9kg per 1000 catalogues. If they do, surcharge of $15 per 1000 catalogues will apply.

The Market

Historic Canowindra is a charming small town situated in country NSW, approximately 300km from Sydney and 220km north west of Canberra. Located just a short leisurely drive from the larger centres of Orange and Cowra, Canowindra is fast becoming known as the hot air balloon capital of Australia. The town’s major event, the Marti’s Balloon Fiesta, is held in April each year. The event is attracting up to 20,000 visitors. A discovery of fish fossils, some of the oldest in the world has put Canowindra on the map internationally in recent years. As a consequence a world class museum has been built in the town to house the fossils. A small community, Canowindra relies heavily on its agricultural industry. Its major products are wine, lucerne, irrigated from the Belubula River, sheep, fat lambs, cattle and wheat.
