The Cobb Highway was named after Cobb and Co
, a company which ran a network of stagecoach
es in inland Australia in the latter half of the 19th century and early in the 20th century. The highway follows an old coach route through the Riverina
, connecting the Murray, Murrumbidgee

s network that traverses New South Wales. This highway is the focus of a major tourism initiative entitled 'The Long Paddock', developed by the shires along the route (Murray, Deniliquin
, Conargo, Hay and Central Darling
). The Long Paddock project aims to create sustainable communities along the Cobb Highway through the development of a dynamic cultural heritage touring route. The project uses the consistent theme of transportation, involving elements of history, creative interpretation and local environment, to link the communities along the highway.
