Did You Get The Weekend Australian from Last Weekend?

I need to read a column in it but I can't find a copy anywhere. My idiot local library thinks it is clever to throw away newspapers one week after they get them in :-(

If anyone has a copy and could send me a photo of the article I am after I would be so, so grateful. Could give you some Belong data in exchange.

  • Sept 25th/26th edition? I'll check my store room tomorrow afternoon. Pm me which article you want.

    • No, the one before that unfortunately

  • they're not archived anywhere online are they?

    • They probably are, but being the Australian, you'd probably have to pay to read said article (no paywall trick like Fairfax papers)

      • Whats the fairfax paywall trick?… asking for a friend…

        • Use Incognito Mode I believe (I don't know for sure as I have a subscription)

    • No sadly this column isn't online. Or if it is, the newspaper fails to provide a teaser and tell you to subscribe to read the rest

      • Damn :(

    What happened to the microfiche?!

  • Should be able to request to see it at the NLA.

    • That will be my next stop! I'm not sure if they keep the whole thing intact, hopefully they do

    I thought most newsagencys keep back copies for a few weeks.

      I did try 2 newsagents but maybe they were too small. I'll try a bigger one, thank you!

    The paper from Saturday 15th? I have bits and pieces of the paper from that weekend. What article and which section? I don't need anything in exchange!

      Thank you!!!! I'm looking for the bridge column. Whenever I've looked for it in the past it has always been really hard to find - it might be in one of the lift out sections rather than in the main newspaper itself. It will likely be near the chess column and might be near the cartoons and sudoku etc (I'm only guessing)

        No worries. I'm out at the moment but I'll check when I get home and let you know. I used some of it in the garden so fingers crossed it wasn't that bit!

          I went a little further afield in my search and found it in a further-away library. Thanks for being willing to look!!

          I'm so happy now that my friend won't kill me for not reading it lol!

          @Quantumcat: No worries, glad you found it!
