The Goldfields Courier (Weekly) and the Golden Age (Daily) were two Coolgardie newspapers that ran from 1894 -1898. The following photograph shows their offices in Bayley Street, Coolgardie in 1895. Although this is well-known photograph it holds a wealth of other details if looked at closely.
Offices of the Goldfields Courier and the Golden Age Newspaper, Bayley Street, Coolgardie 1895 – Ernest T Simonds and Co – Forwarding Agents, Colin Kennedy – Engineer, Smith and Hocking – Stationers, Agent for the Western Mail and the West Australian. There are 12 men in different types of dress and two dogs. Note that the water trough seems to be covered and looks like it has some sort of lock to it.
