Cobb & Co. – Coaching in Queensland

Legendary Cobb & Co. is closely identified with the pioneering spirit of Australia. For more than 70 years Cobb & Co. coaches and horses travelled over millions of kilometres of unmade outback roads to provide vital communication links for many isolated communities. Nowhere was its influence so widespread as in Queensland, where the company operated horse-drawn coaches from 1866 until succumbing to the motor vehicle in 1924.

In this book, author Deborah Tranter, Director of the Cobb & Co. Museum, Toowoomba, Queensland traces the rise and decline of this historic company’s Queensland coaching operations.
