Goulburn Waterworks
Australia / Goulburn, New South Wales
Location ID: #16145
Goulburn Waterworks are located some 200km south-west of Sydney. Built in 1885, the steam operated pumping facility provided Goulburn's first reticulated water supply. The pumphouse still contains the original Appleby Bros. Beam 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.
