The West Australian, accessible via thewest.com.au, is a well-established newspaper that was first published in 1833, making it one of the oldest newspapers still in circulation in Australia. The founder was Charles Macfaull. Today, the newspaper is owned by Seven West Media, one of Australia's leading multi-platform media companies. Based in Perth, Australia, The West Australian covers a wide range of news. It includes Local and National News, World News, Business, Sports, and Entertainment. The newspaper offers in-depth coverage of events happening in Western Australia and beyond. **One interesting fact**: The West Australian has a rich history and has been a part of Western Australia's fabric for nearly two centuries. During the 1890s gold rush in Western Australia, the newspaper had to be printed on packing paper because there was an extreme shortage of newsprint due to the high demand.
