Cobar NSW: Outback, history and amazing Sound Chapel

Описание: 🚙DESTINATION: Cobar NSW

👉🏽Country: Cobar is on the lands of the Ngiyampaa Wangaaypuwan people.
❓WHY: Lots of great reasons to visit Cobar including its interesting history and great museum, its outback location and scenery, and more recently its amazing Sound Chapel.
📅 WHEN: Cobar has a semi-arid climate with hot summers and cool to mild winters. Winter nights can be quite cold. We visited in winter, and enjoyed clear sunny days. Just beautiful.
STAYED: Cobar Central Motor Inn - Quiet, clean and comfy. Friendly service. There are others of course.
DINING: Ay-Jays Cafe served an excellent burger after a long day of walking and exploring. Gumnut Cafe was great for a coffee and a light breakfast. There are other options, just where we ended up on the day.
👂SOUND CHAPEL: The Cobar Sound Chapel is a permanent sound installation artwork located just out of town. It was completed in early 2022 as a result of a collaboration between composer and sound artist Georges Lentz and architect Glenn Murcutt. Read more: https://bit.ly/3rdXD39
☝️BOOK AHEAD: If you want to see the Sound Chapel, you must book ahead at the Tourist Information Centre inside the Museum. You can pick up the key, and will need to pay a $100 cash deposit, refunded when you return the key. The deposit is are sort of insurance policy to protect this amazing local asset. Worth every cent.
