Wandering Around Goulburn

Goulburn is about an hour from Canberra and the town has a handful of cool sites to visit. Pumping water and gawking at Big Things, here we go.

Ye Olde Goulburn Waterworks. Iconic red brick building.

Pretty piping. Engineers then knew how to build to both perform well and look good doing it.

What the..? All hail Rambo! No ram-sh*t, this big merino is named after a real ram from the nearby Bullamallita property. 50 feet of concrete studlliness.

Delightful details. You can climb up the inside of Rambo and peer out his big eyes. Rear view, no doubt it's Rambo, not Ramba.

Ho hum, it's still an exit through the gift shop, time to pick up some socks and a beanie.

Remembering Wars In Goulburn

It seems every town in Australia has a war memorial and perhaps a war themed museum. Little Goulburn in New South Wales has both sites right next to each other.

The Memorial Museum entrance with a captured WWI German Howitzer artillery gun out front.

WWI rifle line up. Choose your killing machine. Strategic map of the WWI Pacific theater.

A Vietnam war exhibit. The war will be televised, behind the velvet rope of your living room.

Details of fighting, a humble sewing kit and Vietnam war era anti-war buttons and National Service protest handouts.

Just down the road from the museum, an impressive stone tower, dedicated to ANZAC and WWI.
