Goulburn Vacation Guide
Goulburn - half an hour from Canberra and just over two hours from Sydney is Australia's first inland city and the centre of the Southern Tablelands.
The city itself abounds in historical and heritage attractions, and has a vibrant social and cultural life. Goulburn is also within a few hours' drive from most of the attractions of the Tablelands. Goulburn is located at the confluence of the Mulwaree and Wollondilly Rivers. It is 194 km south-west of Sydney via the Hume Freeway and 640 m above sea level with a current population of 20 884 people.
Prior to European settlement, the Gundungura Aborigines inhabited the area. In 1798, John Wilson and his party became the first Europeans to see the Goulburn Plains. In 1818, the exploratory party of Hamilton Hume and James Meehan traversed the Plains and named them after Henry Goulburn, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies.
Goulburn is also home to the NSW Police Academy that occupies 48 hectares within the city.

The reason I came to Goulburn before heading to Hawaii was
for Mel’s 40th birthday party. It started early in the afternoon,
Mel thought if it started early people would go home early, and she and I would
have a good night sleep before driving to Sydney for our 9 hour flight to
Honolulu. Yeah…

I am back in Goulburn with the family. Well, I have claimed them as my family and they have claimed me, but they are actually my ex-in-laws. I had a long drive yesterday once I got off the ferry. After my almost sleepless night, I had to stop every couple of hours for another shot of coffee. I foun…

The trip to Goulburn was an interesting one, and even though the scenery was nice that’s not what made it so interesting! When we stopped at Gundagai to see the dog (don’t worry, if you’re not Australian you are not supposed to know what I’m talking about!) we were hungry so decided to have…
