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.

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.

This is the story of a remarkable Australian pioneer and his 100 years of life. Charles’ story draws in many threads: the cruelty of the convict system, the elegance of Adelaide City’s foundations, the copper boom in South Australia, the goldfields of Tibooburra and the wheat fields of Ungarie, the long working hours of shop assistants and the uncertainty of business enterprises, the isolation and humour of country living, the tragedy of two World Wars and its impact on ordinary Australians. Charles’ own writings show a mind always seeking improvements, a lively sense of humour with an ability to revel in politics and open discussion and the sheer joie de vivre characterising his long life.

"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."

The Gold Coast is a well-known and loved destination for local and international tourists, a city of surf and sun, pleasure and leisure. However, it is also one of the fastest growing cities in Australia, occupying the largest urban footprint outside the state capitals. How did the Gold Coast come to be what it is today? Off the Plan is the first in-depth, multidisciplinary academic study on the urbanisation and development of the Gold Coast. It addresses the historical circumstances, both accidental and intentional, that led to the Gold Coast’s infamous transition from a collection of settlements unburdened by planning regulations or a city centre to become Australia’s sixth largest city. With chapters on tourism, environment, media, architecture, governance and politics, planning, transportation, real estate development and demographics, Off the Plan demonstrates the importance that historical analysis has in understanding present-day planning problems and the value of the Gold Coast as a model for the rapidly evolving western city.
