Some felt the times were better, in the days of Cobb and Co. (G.M. Smith), "with the dust of bush roads and the sweet odors of ferns and eucalypti, caught on the dewy breath of early morning". Along the tracks of Cobb and Co. - The Western Run (Book 2: Brisbane, Toowoomba, Roma & Charleville) continues to explore the 'loose confederation of proprietors' that called themselves Cobb and Co., beginning in Bourke Street, Melbourne. Follow the journey as Cobb and Co. reached into N.S.W., Queensland and the outback. "There was busy life on all the stages when they were kings of the road with refreshment places and mail-changes welcome breaks along the tracks. But the growth of the railway system meant, of course, the gradual disintegration of the coaching business. Main routes were abandoned, and country lines shrank to the position of short feeders to the railway. The swift, mechanical transport that took up the running did not need a halting place at every 30 miles or so-once promising hamlets began to fade. The westerners felt they had lost something that was almost an Australian institution, a romantic and picturesque feature of their homeland that nothing could replace."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'. The original text may make you feel like you are the one sitting on the 'box seat' next to the driver, jolting along the many tracks of Cobb and Co. On this journey, take a longer stop in and around Roma.

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.
