Cobargo
Cobargo is located on the Far South Coast of NSW, Australia.
Since the search for new pastures brought the first white settlers in the 1830s Cobargo has been a working village, building on its natural resources to become largely self-sufficient. Cobargo started as a dairying and cheese-making town in the 1870s, with a butter factory opening in 1901.
Cobargo became known as Wattletown, because of the wattle bark stripping industry. Wattle bark was used by leather tanneries.
Today Cobargo is still a rural community with a village atmosphere, which provides an ideal stop for travelers. The craftspeople of Cobargo carry on the towns traditions of productivity and self-sufficiency.
It is the northern gateway to the Sapphire Coast (extending from Cobargo to the Victorian Border) and is perfectly situated on the main tourist road for travellers from Sydney, Bermagui and Bega. We are about 20 kms inland from the cleanest beaches in Australia.
