Goulburn


--> Spent the day looking at Museums.

First stop was the Goulburn Historic Waterworks which is the only complete operational steam powered water supply in its original location in the southern hemisphere. It was supposed to be a self guided tour but as we were the only people there we got a conducted tour from the caretaker, who was a real character and very passionate about steam engines.

We got very good value formoney as the entrance fee was a gold coin donation.

Next we went to the Bradley Grange and Goulburn Brewery which is Australia's oldest industrial complex sadly its one of those places that advertising makes it sound better than it is, the bright spot is the entrance fee included a tasting of the ales and stout they brew, the stout was quite tasty.

Home for lunch then up Rocky Hill to the Goulburn War Memorial and Museum. The Memorial is a tower that you climb up and have a 360 degree views of Goulburn. They also have a small Museum of War Artifacts and Memorabilia which was quite interesting and once again really friendly staff that were happy to share their knowledge with us, and once again entry was by gold coin donation.


Then it was home for Fred to watch the end of the cricket.
