An afternoon stroll in Australia's first inland city

On learning that Goulburn is just bursting with historical sites I begged my parents to let me have a look around, so we took The Self-Guided Walking Tour of Goulburn. These are just some of the photographs I took on the tour.

The Old Town Hall. This gorgeous building was designed by E.C. Manfred and was built in 1887 for 3, 425 pounds. It stopped being used as the Town Hall in 1990 and is now called the McDermott Centre after a former mayor of Goulburn.

The Technical College was built in 1901 by Walls and Sons and costed 6, 789 pounds. At the time it was built it was though of as the most advanced and stylish building in all of Goulburn. It is now used as the Goulburn Regional Conservatorium.

The Fire Station was built in 1890 and is of a Victorian style.

St Saviors Cathedral is the cathedral for the Goulburn & Canberra diocese and was built soon after people settled in Goulburn.

The Courthouse, this courthouse is the fourth courthouse to be built in Goulburn. It was built in 1870 and is still in use today.
