Westralian Aborigine

The Westralian Aborigine (also known as Westralian Aboriginie) was an independently run and managed Aboriginal newspaper in Western Australia.

The newspaper was established in early December 1953, with a monthly publication beginning January 1954 that ran until July 1957; the initial distribution was of 600 copies.[1][2][3]

The newspaper was managed and run by the Coolabaroo League.[4] It was one of the few Aboriginal-run newspapers in Australia.[5][6]
