Yes Strewth is Gone
Sadly, if the blaring headlines on today’s Fraser Coast Chronicle is anything to go by Strewth definitely has gone … but perhaps not quite as far as the Chronicle would have you believe.
You see nothing goes away for ever on the Internet and someone has take the time to resurrect much of Strewth from the various pages of Strewth that Google cached and you can find it at Strewth Reloaded according to an anonymous email we received overnight.
It was interesting to watch the impact that Strewth had on various aspects of life here in Hervey Bay. Those who were opposed to it were very careful to rubbish it without actually pointing people to it and some of those suggested that Strewth was nothing for them to worry about at all.
However if Strewth was so insignificant then why is the front page of today’s Chronicle emblazoned with the message that Strewth has gone for good? I’ve seen smaller headlines announcing a war that what the Chronicle used to announce the demise of Strewth.
Strewth might be gone but I doubt that that’s the last we’ll see of real citizen journalism here in Hervey Bay and on the Fraser Coast.
