Cobar, NSW

Located 700km west of Sydney Cobar sits on the edge of the outback and is headquarters for a shire covering 44 065 square km. A copper mining town founded in the early 1870's started as a mining camp of tents and huts and quickly reached its peak population of 10 000.

Several buildings remain as reminder of it heyday, such as the Great Western Hotel which claims its verandah, over 100m long is the longest in Australia and the mining company's office which is now the Pastoral, Mining and Technological Museum.

The town has been brought back to life with the building of a 135km pipeline from Nyngan bringing water to the once dusty town.
