Cobar Region

Mining and grazing sustain the Cobar region on the edge of the outback where the Lachlan, Bogan and Darling river systems converge. The Great Cobar Heritage Centre tells the story of copper mining and settlement, while the town’s water tower murals and public art add splashes of colour to the red landscape. Locals cool off at the Newey Reservoir, a man‑made lake fringed with gum trees and favoured by birdlife, and keep an eye out for a small sculpture garden tucked into the grounds of the heritage centre that surprises those who wander through its gates.
