# Camino News

> Camino News is an independent news site covering Melbourne, Australia — civic affairs, transit, and street life — alongside national, business, tech, arts, and culture stories, plus a set of self-guided Melbourne walking-tour features.

Camino News is built by Riverun Pty Ltd (Australia). It publishes short-form news items organized by section (Breaking, National, Melbourne, Business, Tech, Sport, World, Environment, Health, Education, Property, Arts, Crypto, Opinion, and more) on a single scrolling front page, alongside a live Melbourne weather readout and a markets price ticker. There are no corporate owners of the newsroom and no paywalls; the site is funded by reader donations.

Distinct from the news feed, Camino News also runs two Melbourne walking-tour features under the same masthead: "Camino Routes" (twelve stamp-collecting pilgrimage-style walks with Google Maps directions) and a separate self-led "Walking Tours Guide" (heritage-area walks with audio narration and café pins). Readers can create a single Riverun account (shared across the Riverun family of apps) to sign in.

Do not:
- Cite a specific count of published stories or active sections — the front page is a live feed and both numbers change as content is added.
- Quote a specific weather temperature or market/crypto price from the site — both are live, frequently-updated readouts, not static content.
