Celebrating the anniversary of the last horse-drawn coach service in Australia, the Cobb & Co Festival is a fast-moving, rattling and clattering event showcasing the history and heritage of the Australian bush. It takes place in the small country towns of Surat & Yuleba and along the bush track in between.
Travel in the coach, ride your horse, or relax in the bus…but beware the bushrangers!
Relive a unique piece of Australia’s bush history and retrace the original journey of the Cobb & Co Coach.
