Printle: A Printing Word Game from Metal Type


Mechanic

Dimboola Victoria veteran printer Joe Barry has worked for the Dimboola Banner newspaper all his working life and now works for the Newspaper Museum in the same work place. The video and other image pages on the site are well worth a look. It is good to see so many small towns are investing in their printing history.

QuoteThe former Dimboola offices of the Banner newspaper have been acquired by the Dimboola & District Historical Society and transformed into a Newspaper and Letterpress printing museum. The museum owns and operates a diverse collection of vintage presses, all in working condition.
