Foundation Day celebrations in Gulgong, in April 1993, included a re-enactment of bushrangers holding up the Cobb & Co Coach. Wendy Borchert and her daughter were passengers in the coach. The bushrangers and troopers in uniform (carrying shotguns), were an historical re-enactment group who came from near Newcastle.
