Location and

surrounding districts:

The entrance to “Cobodong” is located on the Oberon Road approx

22 kms north of Taralga, approx 67 km north of Goulburn and under 3

hours to Sydney.

The property is situated in a picturesque valley featuring plateau

grazing and creek flat grazing country. Stunning views from numerous

vantage points are enjoyed over the property and the surrounding,

diverse countryside.

Taralga: Taralga established in the 1860’s lies approx 45kms from Goulburn

amidst rolling plains north of the Cockbundoon Ranges. It is

approximately half way between Goulburn and the Wombeyan Caves.

Taralga can be regarded as an unspoilt heritage town with many well

preserved and restored buildings dating from the mid late 19th century

with a distinct architectural style. The stone used in the buildings was

not quarried, but cleared from the soil of pastures for miles around.

This has produced an architectural style unique to the town – not quite

Georgian not Victorian.

The population of Taralga has fluctuated from approximately 100 in

1863 to over 700 in 1893. The current population is some 370.

Taralga is a rural centre with its business and small industries catering

for the needs of primary producers. It has two hotels, cafes and

restaurants plus a licensed club. It is also developing as one of

Australia’s newest cool climate wine growing areas.

Goulburn: Goulburn developed over the past 170 years, as a centre of diverse

activity, which has led to its remarkable record of stability.

Goulburn is situated in the scenic Southern Tablelands of NSW and is

strategically located to provide a unique blend of City facilities and a

country lifestyle.

Goulburn covers an area of 43sq kms with a population of 22,500. The

surrounding districts boost the City population by a further 15,000

people.

Location and

surrounding districts (cont’d):

Its strong rural industries, led by wool, combine with equally

important spheres of tertiary and secondary industry to provide the

City's firm economic foundations.

The wide ranging commercial and professional sectors more than

adequately service the needs of the total community.

Goulburn's secondary industry is based on a mix of private and

Government enterprise. In the private sector, firms engaged in wool

scouring, cotton products, footwear, heavy and light engineering,

building related undertakings, retail distribution, concrete products

and air-conditioning can be found. State and Federal Government

workshops exist for Public Works, Roads and Traffic Authority, the

Railways, Electricity and Telecommunications.

History: The present owners have had the property since January 2002 and are

only selling to dissolve a partnership.
