The Cairns Advertiser and Smithfield Observer began publication as Cairns' first newspaper on 21 April 1877 by the proprietors Hill, Byrne, and Edward Rhode. 'After a short term,' the newspaper was purchased by Dr. E. Myers, who closed the Cairns plant on 24 September 1881 and shifted it to Herberton where the newspaper resumed in November as The Herberton Advertiser.
