Cobargo, New South Wales

Cobargo is a village in the south-east area of the state of New South Wales in Australia in Bega Valley Shire.

Its attractions include olden-style stores, leather craftworks, potteries, an iron forge, art galleries, tea rooms and antique shops.

The name Cobargo may have originated from the local Indigenous Australian word 'cubago' which some sources claim was used to describe nearby Mount Gulaga.

The town was in decline for much of the twentieth century as transportation has made the larger centres more accessible, however like other nearby villages it has recently been revitalised as a tourist destination.

[5] Prime Minister Scott Morrison toured the town several days later, but was heckled by inflamed residents after forcing a handshake upon a local Cobargo woman.

Writer Olga Masters based her collection of short stories A Long Time Dying on people and events in pre-war Cobargo.
