What else can I see in Goulburn?
Aside from the world famous giant merino honoring Goulburn’s rich heritage in the wool industry, there is plenty to see including the spectacular Wombeyan Caves, the Rocky Hill War Memorial and Museum (which some joke is Australia’s only inland lighthouse) and the Historic Waterworks.
If that isn’t enough, take a drive or a stroll through town and enjoy the beautiful heritage buildings of the city.
Enjoy the festival!
