2022 $1 Centenary of The Last Cobb & Co PNC

On 14 August 1924, after 70 years of transporting passengers, goods and mail across the nation, the legendary Cobb & Co. ran its last horse-drawn coach, on service 177, from Surat to Yuleba, Queensland. Cobb & Co. began in Victoria in response to the gold rush of the 1850s. At its peak in the 1870s, the successful company had expanded operations into New South Wales and Queensland, establishing one of the most extensive coaching networks in the world. Coaches were also run to Adelaide and in Western Australia. Cobb & Co. was the lifeline to the bush, carrying passengers, mail and household goods.
