The North West Star-Map

The North West Star is the only local newspaper servicing the special needs of the people of Mount Isa and North West Queensland. It is a community-driven publication dedicated to local issues and interests.

Mount Isa is unique amongst the many regional cities of Australia. In addition to having the world’s largest silver and lead mine and the country’s biggest copper mine, it enjoys one of the highest average household disposable incomes in Australia.

The North West Star daily delivers the Mount Isa Region local up to date accurate news coverage. The prime market area is Mount Isa - Cloncurry. Not surprisingly Mount Isans are big spenders and have consumption patterns far exceeding the National average.

The North West Star is a highly effective medium to reach this dynamic market.

This publication uses a T84 Modular layout.
