Goulburn Historic Waterworks - Goulburn
The Goulburn Hisitoric Waterworks Museum us set on the banks of the picturesque Wollondilly River at Marsden Weir, Goulburn, NSW.
Built in 1885, the steam operated pumping facilities provided Goulburn's first reticulated water supply. The pumphouse still contains the original Appleby Bros. Steam Engine pump and Lancashire Boilers.
This unique facility is the only complete, workable beam engine 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 historic steam engines are on display and operational on "steaming days". The Pumphouse Cafe is also open, serving delicious home made fare including cakes, burgers and fresh brewer coffee.
A great family outing with picnic areas and playgrounds. Fishing available in season.
