At the meeting point of the Barrier Highway (along the road from Sydney to Adelaide) and the Kidman Way, Cobar sits right at the heart of outback NSW. Once Australia's leading copper mining town, Cobar's biggest attractions are its colonial buildings, museums, and heritage sites. Once you've discovered the city’s mining past at the Great Cobar Heritage Centre, admired the ancient Aboriginal rock art at Mount Grenfell Historic Site, and looked out over the mines from Fort Bourke Hill Lookout, venture north to hike and camp in Gundabooka National Park. Campers have several options in and around Cobar. To escape the crowds and get a taste of life in the outback, choose a Hipcamp on a local farm or station. Alternatively, check into one of the caravan parks or tourist parks, where you’ll have powered sites and amenities such as a dump point and camp kitchen.
