In today's fast paced internet driven world many old fashioned jobs are disappearing faster than the click of a mouse.

Paper boy's hand delivering the morning news are now a rare sight, but one man is determined to keep the tradition alive, for a few more years yet.

Mr Lyton Clarke, 76, believes he is the last remaining paper boy in Victoria.

He says he is horrified a generation has been robbed of a right of passage.

'Well it gives them a bit of pride in themselves,' said Mr Clarke.

The retired salesman is on a crusade to maintain this dying tradition and says he will continue for as long as he can.

'As long as I can keep pedaling (my bike), I'll keep going,' he said.
