Cobar is a historic mining town located in central western New South Wales, Australia, approximately 700 kilometers northwest of Sydney. Established in the 1870s following the discovery of copper, the town has a rich mining heritage that continues to shape its identity today. The name "Cobar" is believed to derive from an Aboriginal word meaning "red earth" or "copper," reflecting the area's mineral-rich landscape.
The town serves as an important regional center for the surrounding pastoral and mining communities. Its cultural heritage is closely tied to its mining history, with several heritage buildings and sites preserved from its copper mining heyday. The Great Cobar Heritage Centre, housed in the former Great Cobar Copper Mine administrative building, stands as a testament to the town's significant role in Australia's mining industry.
Despite its remote location in the outback, Cobar maintains a vibrant community life and serves as a gateway to the Australian outback. The town's cultural landscape includes a mix of historical sites, Aboriginal heritage, and contemporary rural Australian culture.
