Overview
Come into the Visitor Information Centre at The Great Cobar Museum to collect a tourism guide and head out on a fact finding mission into Cobar's past. This walk takes you around places of local significance and provides a time-walk of selected heritage buildings, the occupants and their stories.
You can also join Kay Stingemore, Curator of The Great Cobar Museum in an audio tour by downloading the files from the website.
Enjoy learning the history in between ducking in and out of Cobar's businesses to meet the friendly staff. Have lunch at the pub or one of the cafes along the main road and marvel at how resilient this outback town is and how intact the heritage streetscape remains.
