The Australian is the only national newspaper, and so has a very wide circulation.

The Age (from Melbourne) and The Sydney Morning Herald are the other well respected Australian newspapers.

They would be the equivalent of the New York Times and the Washington Post.

I'd guess maybe the Sydney Morning Herald (daily) and the Sunday Mail (weekly), and then maybe the Courier Mail??

I'm curious to hear what others say.

I would like to tap the collective wisdom of our group. A faculty member asked me what is considered the most important Australian newspaper (equivalent to the New York Times). I'm clueless.
