SLOW DOWN, STOP "MOOOOVING" SO FAST AND MEET THE LOCALS AT THE WORLDS DAIRY CAPITAL

Take time to explore the town’s natural, agricultural, and colonial history.

Whilst Cobden’s claim as the worlds ‘Dairy Capital’ may not be an official statistic, the 140,000 head of cattle and Australia’s largest dairy drying plant provide significant evidence.

Cobden, located within the prosperous soils of the Crater and Lakes District, is situated 30 minutes north of the Great Ocean Road (closest coastal town is Port Campbell) and 2.5 hours from Melbourne. Like many of the neighboring towns, Cobden is rich in natural and colonial history.

More unique to Cobden are the numerous ways to explore these assets.

PIONEER DAIRY PARK

Within Cobden’s borders, explore the town’s agricultural history at the Pioneer Dairy Park, Historical Society and Miniature Railway. These parks are open to public on the third Sunday of each month, providing plenty of fun, family friendly activities.

CRATER TO COAST RAIL TRAIL

The Crater to Coast Rail Trail is a scenic bike ride running between Camperdown and the epicurean treats of Timboon. Cobden is the half way point of the ride, giving visitors the option to head north through Camperdown’s crater lakes or south along the old rail sleepers and trestle bridges to Timboon.
