Cobargo

cobargo-1Cobargo, is situated north of Bega. While the Dairy and Timber industries feature in the town's economy, Cobargo is a working village of local artisans. Many of the buildings in the town, are over 100 yrs old and reflect the charm of the Art & Craft within them.
The town was once known as Wattletown because from the 1860's, wattle bark was stripped from wattle trees and used in the tanning industry in Sydney and Melbourne. The industry ceased in 1964. Cobargo was also known as 'The Junction' because of the junction of the Narira and Bredbatoura Creeks in the middle of the town.
The township was established with a Post Office, General Store, School, Hotel, Church and Blacksmith Shop during the 1870's around the butter and cheese making industries.
A Butter Factory and Co-op were established in 1901 and continued production, except for a short break due to fire, until 1980 when it closed because of changes in bulk milk production.The town was large enough from the 1890's onwards, to support a newspaper, 'The Cobargo Watch'.
Remnants of the old town are to be seen within this working village. The site of the Kinetix Sport Clothing Store is the original Bank of NSW and later the Westpac Bank, built in 1917.
The two storey building that houses "Bangles Gallery" is a fine example of 100 year old architecture and features lovely wrought iron lace work around the verandahs.
Take a stroll around the town and experience the delightful ambience of yesteryear. Take your pick from an array of Art and Craft, Pottery, Woodwork & Leatherwork. Hunt among the Collectables, Curios and Old Wares on offer.
Quaama is a small village just south of Cobargo with a great rest spot near the bridge to break your trip. You’ll find Fruit Ballad Wines in Quaama - drop in and sample some of the unusual flavours of wonderful hand-made wines.
North of Cobargo and only a short drive away, you can find two more delightful villages, Tilba Tilba and Central Tilba. To the south of Cobargo are Bega and Merimbula, and Cobargo is only minutes away from the lovely seaside town of Bermagui.
