Gold Digging Days No 4 Rise of Cobb & Co in Bathurst
In 1860 a Bathurst lad William Simmanda witnesses Cobb & Co coaches arrive near the public house signaling the start of the great coaching firm in New South Wales. Freeman Cobb’s system for fast transport linked Melbourne to Beedigs Ballarat and other gold fields, with headquarters later set in Bathurst under James Rutherson. Rivalries with Will Maloney and others shaped early stagecoach days as Americans expanded services across Victoria and New South Wales.
