    On the 7th of July 1883 the Bowral Free Press appeared and was owned by William Webb who sold it in March 1884 to William and Daniel Beer. In February 1885 Daniel Beer became the sole publisher and after his death in November 1891 his widow took over in September 1895 and sold it to William Beer. In March 1906 the name of the journal changed to the Wollondilly Free Press but ended publication after the 1st of July 1914. In 1880 Daniel Beer published the Royal Monthly but it didn't last long. In October 1884 the Intelligence was produced by the Bowral Free Press but ended a month later.
