Cobdogla
This was an early irrigation settlement its name is a corrupted form of the name of the king of the local tribe of Aborigines, Cobdogle. Its earliest settlers cleared the land and dug irrigation channels to breathe life into it.
COBDOGLA IRRIGATION MUSEUM
This was once a pumping station and dates from the turn of the century. It exhibits the only working Humphrey pump in the world - a 20th century invention that acts like a giant water cannon. The museum also has a 1920 traction engine and a 1909 steam locomotive which are both available for rides.
