Cobb and Co passes for $1

- STEPHEN NADIN

HERITAGE trades such as blacksmith­ing, coopering, furniture making, bridle making, leather plaiting and leadlighti­ng are being revived thanks to training and workshops at a regional museum.

The Cobb and Co Museum at Toowoomba also offers the only wheelwrigh­ting workshop in the southern hemisphere.

Queensland Museum Network chief executive Dr Jim Thompson said the museum was opened in December 1987 to originally house the National Carriage

Collection. Queensland­ers can snap up incredible dollar deals as part of a new campaign by Tourism and Events Queensland, in partnershi­p with News Corp’s Queensland mastheads.

The “20 Days of Holidays Like This” campaign will showcase hot daily deals until Thursday and an incredible getaway competitio­n on the weekend.

A LIMITED NUMBER OF 100 COBB AND CO MUSEUM FAMILY ANNUAL PASSES FOR TWO ADULTS AND TWO CHILDREN FOR $1 EACH WILL BE AVAILABLE ON QUEENSLAND.COM/ HOLIDAYSLI­KETHIS FROM 9AM ON WEDNESDAY.
