To mark the centenary of the Camden News first published on October 6 1880
A steel time capsule was buried beneath this plaque on October 27 1980 by His Worship the Mayor of Camden, Alderman Elizabeth A. Kernohan in the presence of a gathering of District representatives
The great silver deposits of Yerranderie came from rocks similar to this one which covers the time capsule.
The capsule contains a copy of the 1880 Camden News (Times) and copies of other papers published in 1980, by the S. Richardson Newspaper Group, in addition to a variety of everyday items in general use at this time
