In 2019 we celebrated the 95th Anniversary of the last service by the Cobb & Co Coach between Yuleba and Surat. It's last stop was at Yuleba on 14th August 1924, retiring the Cobb & Co Coach service in Australia. Cobb & Co. was Australia's most important stage coach company in its day. Established in Melbourne in the 1800's during the height of the Gold Rushes, it proved to be very popular as a me

ans of transport to the gold fields. Soon Horse-drawn coaches were used to carry passengers through Victoria, followed by New South Whales and then into Queensland. Service 177 became the Cobb and Co's most famous route, running from Yuleba through Surat and on to St. George. With a total of 203 Km,there were changing stations situated approximately every 25 Km. At each Changing Station there would be a meal break for the driver and passengers, and a fresh team of horses for the next stage.
