History
The newspaper was first published in 1858 by Robert Barr. Robert Barr, a printer, sold the newspaper by public auction on 20 August 1859 to W. Vance, after damages of £200 were awarded against him for libel. Later the same year William Irving acquired the newspaper and from January 1860 the newspaper was published twice per week, on Wednesday and Saturday. The last issue of the paper as ''The Kiama Examiner'' appeared on 10 December 1859, and the first issue of the paper under its new title ''The Examiner'', appeared a week later on 17 December 1859. The last issue of the paper appeared in June 1863. The paper was then absorbed by the ''Illawarra Mercury''.Digitisation
