Steampunk Goulburn
Overview
Steampunk Goulburn is a chance to travel through time, as it never was. The retro-futuristic fair features vintage games, penny farthings, horse and carriage rides, live music, circus tent and performances, roving entertainment, tea and parasol duels, sword fighting, face painting, hobby horse races and food and Steampunk themed market stalls. Plus, a chance to dress up in the imaginative genre that combines Victorian elegance with steam-powered innovation, and if you are game enter the highlight of the Fair, the costume parade.
The Goulburn Historic Waterworks, situated on the beautiful Wollondilly River, hosts the annual Steampunk Goulburn, seeing an influx of characters complementing the Waterworks' architecture and aesthetic. The Victorian Georgian-style Pumphouse Museum will be open and steaming all day, with experienced tour guides on hand to talk with you about the magnificent stationary steam engines, the 1883 Appleby Beam Engine and the 1866 Hick Hargreaves Horizontal Engine. Both are operated by a wood-fired 1960 Spencer Hopwood Cross tube vertical boiler. The original Galloway boilers, while still in situ, are no longer able to be fired.
Come along to revel in this unique facility, its history, and envisage old-world technology put to use in the future at Steampunk Goulburn.
