Goulburn Waterworks and Lunch
There’s plenty more to Goulburn than the Big Merino, and you can bet that Steve will find something interesting for us.
For a start, have you been to the Goulburn Historic Waterworks, down on the bank of the Wollondilly River? There you can see the fully operational steam engines - the 1883 Appleby Bros. beam engine and the 1860s Hick Hargreaves Corliss valve engine. The beam engine was installed at the waterworks in the 1880s to pump water for the City of Goulburn, one of the first regional centres in Australia to supply piped drinking water to its residents.
