We are NOT a Blog, we are a 50+ year-old traditional local and historical newspaper, guide and entertainment publishing business that has organically refashioned our publishing and distribution methods during 13 years of the global shift to online news.
1. ***Please note we are an Australian-based company & do not work weekends. This means Fridays for most of the world is already the weekend for us.
2. VERY IMPORTANT – Please ensure that you have included a licensed high-resolution Feature Image or suitable graphic otherwise delays can occur. PNG, JPG, JPEG and WEBP files must be at least 1200 x 800px to 2400 x 1600px to work effectively for SEO and CMS requirements.
3. We do not do Link Exchanges, dislike bartering, so please do not ask as refusal may offend.

Turn Around Time for publication.
In normal circumstances during business hours in Australia posts are placed within 24/72 hours. Weekends and Public Holidays may delay some late requests.

NO GAMBLING/CASINO
GENERAL POSTS ONLY
WE DO NOT ACCEPT OFFSHORE VAPE/THC/CBD/CASINO/GAMBLING/CRYPTO/FOREX/ASSIGNMENT-ESSAY WRITING/VIAGRA or ENHANCEMENT/ADULT DATING
Unfortunately, we had a group of SEO cowboy operations infiltrate our CMS, selling posts for ridiculous prices on Facebook groups and we are still weeding out the damage done.
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Should posts be found to have links outside our country’s legal requirements they will be removed without reimbursement and the links and business association cancelled. Offshore gambling sites are now blocked by the Australian Government so don’t waste your time asking.
SPAM…We no longer accept INTERNATIONAL CBD, Casino, Gambling or Bitcoin/Currency/Finance, Forex, Education Assignment/Essay Writing, Viagra, Sex, or Dating adverts. Some of these posts are illegal in Australia and links are automatically blocked by the Censor and others attract Google spam ratings that can affect our sites SEO values.
Don’t ask, as refusal could be offensive!
