Just minutes from town. Take a sealed road up to Fort
Bourke Lookout and view
Cobar and its surroundings. See the open pit and entrance to the underground
mine from a
well constructed viewing platform.
The rich
Cobar mineral belt is clearly visible in a straight line from North to South (line up the head-frames).
Cobar's water comes from
Burrendong Dam 400 km away and is pumped from
Nyngan via a 135 km pipeline into storage tanks on top of Fort
Bourke hill.
Fort
Bourke Hill stands to the east of the
Cobar township and rising to 300 metres above sea level, it offers the visitor a wonderful vista of the
Cobar landscape. To get to Fort
Bourke Hill, turn off the
Kidman Way, 2kms south of
Cobar. Drive up past the water tanks to the radio towers for one of the best
views of
Cobar, particularly at sunset.
