Goulburn

Australian Sojourn – March 2023 • Part 2

I’ve spent the last four days in the Southern Tablelands city of Goulburn, staying with my dear friends Cathy and Gerry whom I’ve known since my teaching days in Goulburn (1988-1993) prior to my relocation to the U.S. in 1994.

It has been a wonderful time of reconnecting with friends and taking in the sights of Australia’s oldest inland city, a place I once called home. The strong and heartfelt connection I still have to Golburn and to my former teaching colleagues and friends is quite something, especially given that I lived here for just six years 30 years ago. I am deeply grateful for all of these connections and friendships.

Above and below: Goulburn landmarks, including Goulburn Court House, St Peter and Paul’s Old Cathedral, Goulburn Post Office, St Saviour’s Cathedral and Belmore Park.
