Cobar is a town in Far West (New South Wales).
The town has an interesting mining museum on the highway at the eastern end of town. It covers much of the history of the town and its people, and will give you an idea of how hard life was when the first settlers arrived in the 19th century.
The Cobar Meteorological Office is open to visitors most days, and if you arrive at around 10AM, you'll see the daily release of a weather balloon. The staff are friendly and happy to talk about their work.
The local tourist office supplies a free walking tour map.
Cobar is home to the "Big Beer Can", which sits above the entrance to the Grand Hotel.
- Bob and Elaine's Bakery, just off the main road, opposite the park. The cream buns are recommended.
Bowling Club. It has a Chinese restaurant which does take-aways. If you're lucky, there may be live music as well.
