The Bendigo Independent

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

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.
