The North Coast Times was a newspaper that served the communities of Bellingen and Coffs Harbour from 1886 to 1890. It was established by Joseph Mackay and published in Fernmount. Legal issues between Mackay and his reporter Henry Boultwood resulted in Boultwood setting up his own newspaper, The Northern Courier and the demise of The North Coast Times. 

Digitised editions of the North Coast Times newspaper are availabe on the National Library of Australia's Trove service, which you can browse here.
