History
The Daily Examiner has served Grafton and the Clarence Valley in northern New South Wales since 1859. The paper covered river trade, timber milling, sugar farming, and community affairs for a region stretching from the coastal town of Yamba to the hinterland ranges. Its readership included both townspeople and isolated rural families who relied on the paper for regional news.
This collection covers 1947 to 1954, the core years of Australia's first flying saucer wave. The Clarence Valley's mix of river flats, dense bushland, and coastal waters produced sighting reports from a range of environments, each with different observation conditions.
