Explore Goulburn

Goulburn was proclaimed Australia's first inland city by Queen Victoria in 1863 and became an important administrative centre. Its rich history and heritage buildings have been well preserved and it remains a fascinating place to visit whether you stay for a day, a weekend or a week. Just two hours from Sydney and an hour from Canberra and the Southern Highlands Goulburn is the perfect base from which to explore the area.
