We are the paper of choice for advertisers, promoters, businesses and the community. As they say, “Everyone reads the POST”!
“Found you in

They say word of mouth is the best free marketing for small business and advertising in the POST gets people talking. We offer competitive rates and the largest loyal readership who are ready to become your next client or buyer. Some of our tradies advertise with us just to tell people they can’t take on new work!
