The last Cobb and Co. coach ran on the Yuleba-Surat route on 14 August 1924. QANTAS was already carrying mail by air in western Queensland, and radio and telephones connected towns hundreds of kilometres apart.
The Cobb & Co Way App details the places of interest along the road from Surat to Yuleba. This is a rare opportunity to experience (while driving your car) what it must have been like to travel with Cobb & Co.
There are a number of changing stations along the route - where the horses were changed and the travellers took a much-needed break - and the route passes the beautiful Frogmore Lagoon which is ablaze with waterlilies between December and May
