Goulburn Historic Waterworks

Step back in time to the 1880s when Goulburn was one of the first regional centres to supply piped drinking water to its residents. The Goulburn Historic Waterworks has remained intact with a pump house and working steam beam engine. It is located in an idyllic setting on the banks of the Wollondilly River. This unique facility is the only complete, workable, steam powered municipal water supply left in its original location in the southern hemisphere. The buildings and engine are of national significance and are now protected by a permanent conservation order. The Goulburn Historic Waterworks is home to the Steampunk Victoriana Fair. The retro-futuristic fair has clothing, art, music and so much more on offer plus a chance to dress up in the genre that melds the classical Victorian era with industrial progress and all things powered by steam. Check out their Facebook page for further details.

St Saviours Anglican Cathedral

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

St Saviour's Cathedral Goulburn

The stunning bell tower, soaring windows and massive stonework are the first impressions one has of St Saviour's. The Cathedral dominates Bourke Street and interrupts the through flow of Montague Street. Royal Letters Patent issued by Queen Victoria in March 1863 established the Diocese of Goulburn giving Goulburn city status and making it Australia's first inland city. Built around the old St Saviour's Church from 1874 to 1884, St Saviour's Cathedral is one of the finest white sandstone cathedrals in the Southern Hemisphere. Both the Cathedral and Hall were designed by one of Australia's most well-known architects, Edmund T. Blacket. The tower was built and bells were installed as per the original design in 1988 as a bicentennial project. In 2006, the final three bells were installed, giving Goulburn the only 12-bell country peal in the Southern Hemisphere. The Forster and Andrews organ contained 43 stops and 2252 pipes when installed but has been modified several times since. It is regarded as one of the best pipe organs in Australia and one of the most sought-after by organists who wish to play it. Volunteer guides, and minders are in attendance subject to availability.
