Cobb & Co was a prominent transportation company in Australia and New Zealand during the 19th century. Founded in 1853 by Frederick Cobb, it initially provided horse-drawn coach services, connecting remote areas with urban centers. The company played a crucial role in the development of the Australian outback, facilitating travel and trade. As the demand for transportation grew, Cobb & Co expanded its services to include mail delivery and passenger transport. The company became known for its reliability and efficiency, operating a network of coaches that traversed challenging terrains. Eventually, with the advent of the automobile, Cobb & Co transitioned to motorized transport before ceasing operations in the mid-20th century.
