The Mercury was first published in 1855 & became a daily in 1949. It has little competition in Wollongong, is also sold in the Sydney metropolitan area & in the City of Shoalhaven where I live. I used to buy it once a week for its sporting section however our local rag now has an excellent sporting feature so haven't purchased the Mercury for several years.
In 2005 the Mercury was named Newspaper of the Year (20,000-50,000 circulation) by the Pacific Area Newspaper Publisher's association.

Visit Instructions:
A photograph that depicts your presence at the building is necessary. This can be a picture of your GPSr in the foreground in only one of your many pictures, or if you're not too camera shy, put you or a team member in the picture. Maybe even buy a newspaper while they're still in business. They need all the help they can get. No picture, no new log. And no icon.
