Forbes Advocate
The ''Forbes Advocate'' is an English language newspaper published in Forbes, New South Wales, Australia. History The ''Forbes Advocate'' was first published on 1 December 1911 by G.W. Brownhill and continues to this day. The ''Advocate'' incorporated the '' Forbes Times'' on 31 March 1920.
