About

Goulburn Pumping Station is a heritage-listed former municipal water supply system that now serves as a museum on the Wollondilly River at Goulburn in the Southern Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia. It was built from 1885 to 1886. It includes the historic Appleby Steam Engine, which is contained in the pumping station.

The facility is the only complete, workable beam engine powered municipal water supply left in its original location in the Southern Hemisphere. It now operates as the Goulburn Historic Waterworks Museum. The property is owned by Goulburn Mulwaree Council. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
