About

The Penrith Museum of Printing www.printingmuseum.org.au in NSW Australia is one of the world's finest working museums dedicated to the golden era of Letterpress printing. It is an NFP entirely run by volunteers and regularly hosts school, club and special interest groups. We have been lucky enough to acquire a rare 1939 Heidelberg press but it is located 575km north of us and needs special handling and transport. Until recently, this press was printing Australia's last remaining 'hot metal' newspaper, The Don Dorrigo Gazette.
The closure to the Don Dorrigo Gazette was featured on an ABC newsfeed, viewable here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-04/don-dorrigo-gazette-ceases-publication-after-110-years/102558846?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web
