"The old stage coach has been pushed off the roads by the motor, but the ghosts of the romantic past will ever linger." (The Sydney Mail, 1921) Explore the beginnings of the 'American Telegraph Line of Coaches' that became Cobb and Co. "John Murray Peck, Freeman Cobb, James Swanton and John Lamber, as partners, originated Cobb and Co. on the Bendigo road on January 1, 1854-the famous coaching firm, whose name and fame afterwards spread all over the five Australian mainland states." (1942 Memoirs of a Stockman, p.16)Follow the journey of coaching, the delivery of Her Majesty's mail, and the development of the 'iron horse' as your journey along The Great Northern Road, the track from Sydney to Brisbane. Climb aboard the box seat and be entertained by the 'whip' (driver)--skilled and courageous--as you take a longer stop in and around Tenterfield ... where coaches were frequently 'bailed up' and robbed by bushrangers."The bushranger most associated with Tenterfield in the late sixties and 1870 was Fred Ward, known as Thunderbolt." (Tenterfield, 1949, p.28) "He was an old 'Cockatoo' bird, and one of the few prisoners who escaped from that gruesome island. The escape was effected on September 11th, 1863, and Ward had for a companion in his flight a fellow convict named Britten ..." (Capt. Thunderbolt, 29 Mar 1866, p.2)What makes this Cobb and Co. Book Series different? To share the positive history of how Cobb and Co., and the postal service, contributed to the great Australia of today, fragments written during the 1800s to mid-1900s have been selected to tell the story, hence 'history is speaking for itself'. Included are "tales of adventure, gold rushes, bushrangers, brave pioneers, drought, death, flood ... "Cobb and Co. "a romance almost as old as Queensland itself, the romance of the famous coaching days of Australia ? the hardy men who kept the roads open ? brave men and horses that made the bush ring with the rattle, trot, trot, clicketty clack of iron-shod wheel and hoof." (Cobb and Co's Coaching Days, 30 Jun 1929, p.23)

For the first time in a single volume, this book brings together more than 140 of the best walks, tracks or trails in New South Wales, which can be walked by the moderately fit individual.

Other routes follow state highways, minor roads, coastal cliffs, old gold routes, or pass bushranger haunts and back roads linking towns and historical features. Most routes do not require specialist navigation or bushcraft skills, and vary in length from a 45-minute stroll to a 4-day, 65-kilometre camping trip. Walks, Tracks and Trails of New South Wales highlights the best the state has to offer, from an outback ghost town and ancient lake beds, to Australia’s highest mountain, coastal environments and World Heritage rainforests. Easy-to-interpret maps are included to help you navigate, and the book’s size makes it convenient to bring with you on your adventures.

'A rollicking good yarn about a national icon... well worth the journey.' Herald Sun In 1853, a young American arrived in the new colony of Victoria hoping to make his fortune from the world's greatest gold rush. He soon realised where the real money was to be made, and established a coach company that would eventually carry his name onto every household in the land: Cobb & Co. But Freeman Cobb himself was long gone by the time the company bearing his name became an Australian legend. Wild Ride is the story of the two extraordinary men, James Rutherford and Frank Whitney, who along with their business partners took Freeman Cobb's humble company and made it into an Australian legend. These were pioneers, carving a path through otherwise impassable terrain, settling unsettled land, enduring bushrangers and terrible accidents, and making their fortunes. The Rutherford and Whitney families became two of the most significant of their era, unrivalled in their influence and, finally, vicious in their falling out. Written with unprecedented access to these families' letters and diaries, Wild Ride reveals the Cobb & Co story in all its drama, conflict and tragedy. It is the compelling and human story of Australia's first great company and the people who made it an icon. 'A lively, popular history with broad appeal, Wild Ride is full of colourful detail and anecdotes.' The Age
