Self-guided Tour of Goulburn's Rail Heritage

The first steam railway in Australia was conceived, designed and built to run between Goulburn and Sydney. The line to Goulburn officially opened on 27 May 1869 and continues as a major transport link for the region and beyond today.

This self-guided tour of Goulburn's Rail Heritage was developed as part of the celebrations of 150 years of rail in NSW and provides fascinating historical facts and an itinerary to significant locations in the present day city of Goulburn that bring these stories to life.
