Cobar Shire

Commonly referred to as ‘The jewel of Outback’, Cobar is bounded to the North by Bourke Shire, in the South by Carrathool Shire, the west by Central Darling Shire and the East by Bogan Shire.

Cobar is friendly and welcoming and offers a range of cultural and recreational activities for residents. The Shire’s prosperity is built around the thriving mining - copper, lead, silver, zinc, gold - and pastoral industries, which are strongly supported by a wide range of attractions and activities that make it a major tourist destination.

There is a strong industrial network in Cobar including tradespeople, equipment hire and labour force.
