Take a journey into the past as Queensland Museum Cobb+Co, Toowoomba winds back the clock 100 years to commemorate the final Cobb & Co. Coach run with four days of celebrations this August.
The Cobb 100 celebrations at Queensland Museum Cobb+Co mark a century since the final horse-drawn coach run, a mail run between Yuleba and Surat on 14th August, 1924.
The museum is expecting significant attendance over the four days, including visitors from outside of the Toowoomba region eager to relive the legacy of Cobb & Co.
From 14-17 August visitors can experience the history of Cobb & Co. coaching with live heritage trade demonstrations, curatorial talks, bush poetry, theatrical and choir performances, guided tours, and more. Festivities also celebrate the reopening of the newly refurbished National Carriage Collection, showcasing 50 horse-drawn vehicles including one of the last Cobb & Co. coaches.
