'The two page first issue of The Northern Star was brought out on May 13, 1876, on the tiny Albion hand press that today [2013] holds pride of place in the foyer of the Goonellabah Media Centre. The primitive printing press is a small monument to the advancement of The Northern Star.

'In 1955 building started on the media centre in Goonellabah, and in 1957 the move was made from the Molesworth St office.

'In 1981 The Northern Star commissioned a 7unit Gross Urbanite Web Offset press capable of printing 40,000 fifty six page copies - or 2.24 million pages an hour.

'In 2004 the press was upgraded to twelve units with six Enkel auto reel stands, increasing the capability to 3.2 million pages an hour. That's 53,333 pages a minute! Colour capacity also increased from 16 to 48 pages of processed colour in one pass.'
