Complete with a slide presentation, Bill started with the Penultimate Plan of Goulburn followed by an early view of Auburn Street complete with an early street parade.
We then moved forward to look at original local buildings aligned with Goulburn’s history.
Bill accompanied the original buildings with a more modern building which, as of 2016, stands on the site of the original one.
A brief overview of some of these buildings sourced are:
- second Post Office
- Mandelson’s Hotel
- Carrier Arms Hotel
- Roman Catholic Church of St Peter and Paul

What a great way for those who are interested in Goulburn’s history or new to the town to spend a morning, afternoon or evening.
A great speaker and presentation for a Club to have at a meeting. For more information, call Bill on 4821 4535.
At the end of his presentation, Bill answered questions from members and guests and was presented with a gift in appreciation by Joan Scott.
