The Cobdogla Chimney


Cobdogla Station Caravan Park earns it name from the remaining relic of the Cobdogla Homestead complex, the land was originally taken up by John Chambers before any official surveys of the area had been made.

Although it was owned by John Chambers he never officially resided on the property instead choosing to employ trusted managers to run the Station, James Trussell served as its manager until 1895.
