The Narrandera Argus, previously published as The Narandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser, is a weekly English language compact format newspaper published in Narandera, New South Wales (now officially "Narrandera")
History
First published in 1880, The Narandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser was published until 1953 when it changed its title to Narrandera Argus, which is still in publication.[1] It was published by J.
