‘Along the tracks of Cobb and Co. – The New South Wales Headquarters’ continues to examine Australian history during the period when Cobb and Co. expanded into N.S.W., with James Rutherford "setting a cracking pace and gathering a regular monopoly of mail contracts.” He fixed his headquarters at Bathurst, with “the firm on its way to greatness, and Rutherford riding the wind without any false pride, brag, or skite. He was making his contribution to Australia felix.”

Climb aboard the box seat of one of Cobb's grand coaches. Feel the exhilaration as you rattle, trot, and clickety-clack across a rickety bridge. Embark on your journey during the gold rush era in Victoria, before joining the “bearded and moustached whips as they make their triumphant entrance” into Bathurst, where they operated until the railways took over.

Immerse yourself in tales of poles and king-bolts breaking, coaches capsizing, liberated horses, and rough-looking fellows emerging from the bush with calls of 'Bail up!' Delve into the mystery of whether the Escort Robbery involved a Cobb and Co. coach, and learn about the death of bushranger Hall.

Take a longer stop at Abercrombie House, an Australian heritage treasure in Bathurst. Established by Major-General William Stewart in the 1820s, this property has been home to the Morgan Family for over half a century. A Cobb and Co. coach, on loan from Mr. Ray Green, has been placed in the carriage garage on the southern side of the 1876 basalt Stables Building, which is being restored to include an interpretive display along with period items, tack, and harness.
