The Banyule Observer was raised September 2000. Banyule Councillors Colin Brooks and Dale Peters became aware that the ‘local’ news in the Diamond Valley News was being neglected. Together these two councillors asked Rosie Bray to write the local news – which she did until Colin Brooks withdrew. Dale Peters published one more issue – on April 28 2001, before he closed the paper down. Rosie was paid $20 a month to cover costs. A collection of local news from the Diamond Valley area of Banyule.Spiral bound folder containing photocopies of editions of 'Banyule Observer'colin brooks, dale peters, banyule observer, rosie bray
