Cobar Accomodation

Thanks Rob. Will give them a call. What sort of a place is Cobar? Is it a peaceful place?

Don't forget your winter woollies bloody cold in Cobar.
I prefer the on site cabins as you can park right out
side handy for security,some motels have very low
clearance if you are trying to get a 4wd in with a fully loaded roof rack.

I think i would prefer to stay in Cobar than Dubbo from a crime point of veiw from what i have read.
When i stayed in Cobar last year i asked the caravan park manager
if the vehicles would be ok he didn't think it would be any worse than any where else?where i have had a lot of bad reports from Dubbo.

Rob.

I always heard bad things about Wilcannia but it seemed pretty good when compared with Bourke.
Thanks for the heads up on Dubbo.

Stayed in our van at the Cobar CP a couple of times with no worries.

The sports club is close by with good chinese meal and you can get a ticket at the CP office for 10% off and a free drink.

We lived in Cobar for about 18 months. It's not a bad little place. We were just a stones throw from the caravan park & never had any problems. Yeah there was one house with dodgy sort of people in it and it was a couple houses away from us but we never had any trouble at all.
I found from reading the loacl rag that most of the crime (theft from homes / cars etc) was genrally at night and near the pubs. But like most small towns generally it was just drunk disorderliness or dui's that were predominant.

However this does not give me feedback from fellow EO members which i value greater than Google.

Yeah I think Town & Country is the one where the mining comany always puts it's visitors up, and also often go to the restaurant for dinners.

In Dubbo we've stayed at the Cattleman, and the old converted pub, plus a few others and we have never had any problems. Living in Cobar we generally went to Dubbo for a bit of retail therapy or a weekend away.
