No fish ‘n’ chip wrapper

1 min read

Back in the good old recycling days, when people could get their fish ‘n’ chips served wrapped up in old newspapers, the joke was that if you were front-page news in your local paper, it would all be forgotten the next day.

Times have changed and these days Dubbo Photo News is still a valuable asset even when it’s well past its weekly expiry date, and we’ve brought you plenty of examples over recent years of innovative ways that locals are utilising the older editions, once they've finished reading them and sharing them.

Now we’ve spotted a soon-to-be-opened shop in South Dubbo’s Jubilee Street which is using pages from old Dubbo Photo News as wallpaper to cover the shopfront glass while refitting is being done.

Recent history, literally, in a shop window.
