The Bendigo Independent

The Bendigo Independent was a newspaper published in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.

History

The Independent was founded in Bendigo (also named Sandhurst) in or before March 1862.[1] E. A. Banks (1854–1920) was the editor for many years.[2]

In November 1918 the management of the Independent purchased its competitor The Bendigo Advertiser, and amalgamated the two titles under the banner of the latter.[3]
