Journey back in time and experience the rich legacy of Cobb & Co. through exclusive footage from the official Bolton Film Collection.

In the 1950s, William Robert Fossey (Bill) Bolton revived the Cobb & Co. name for his transport company in Toowoomba. He acquired two historical horse-drawn coaches from the original Cobb & Co. and showcased their heritage across Queensland and beyond. 

This video features historical footage from these events, with interviews from David Bolton, Deborah Tranter, John Osborne OAM, and Don Ross Snr, introducing Queensland Museum Cobb+Co and its storied past. Highlights include Centenary Celebrations, the vibrant Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, the Royal Flying Doctor Service coach run, and various community events across regional Queensland.
