About Goulburn
Goulburn is a substantial regional city on the Southern Tablelands, where nearly 24,000 residents enjoy the benefits of being the halfway point between Sydney and Canberra. At 640 metres elevation, it experiences true four-season weather and serves as the service centre for surrounding pastoral districts. The Big Merino marks its heritage as the heart of fine wool country.
Auburn Street provides comprehensive country-town shopping, and the dining scene has improved markedly as tree-changers have arrived. Heritage buildings abound, and the railway viaduct and old brewery are architectural landmarks. Goulburn attracts those seeking affordable country living within commuting distance of Canberra, plus retirees and professionals who appreciate its services and character. It's a proper Australian country town—solid, practical, and affordable.
Goulburn falls under postcode 2580 and is governed by Goulburn Mulwaree Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Goulburn electorate.
