South Western Times

The South Western Times is a weekly English language newspaper published for Bunbury and the South West region in Western Australia.

The newspaper was first published in 1888 and was originally titled the Southern Advertiser. The name was changed later the same year to the Southern Times and in 1917 it became the South Western Times.

The newspaper also published an annual state pictorial feature with a goal of promoting the South-West, the South Western Times Illustrated Annual. The 1947 issue featured scenes of the Pemberton pool's carnival day, forestry and other industries. The 1952 issue had prints of views in Collie and Denmark, content on cows, schools and fire controls.

The distribution area includes many towns in the South West, including Bunbury, Boyanup, Capel, Donnybrook, Collie, Harvey, Balingup and Darkan. The paper is published every Thursday and in 2019 has a circulation of 6,300 and a readership of 19,000.
