Goulburn: Goulburn Aviation
Colac Aerodrome straddles the open volcanic plain of western Victoria in the Otways region, and its level setting has made it a practical base for local aviation and pilot training. It serves Colac, a regional centre beside Lake Colac, while the Otway Ranges rise south of town and surrounding land is largely agricultural. The airfield complements Colac’s lakeside identity as a base for general aviation. Colac stands on Gulidjan Country, the traditional land of the Gulidjan people. The combination of lake, farmland and nearby forested ranges gives this part of south-west Victoria its distinct character.

The landscape around Goulburn is a high, open section of the Southern Tablelands, with cool-season grasslands that have shaped both the urban form and the local wool economy. Set beside the Wollondilly River, the city has long been a service centre on the route between Sydney and Canberra. Goulburn was proclaimed Australia’s first inland city in 1863, and its civic fabric includes the sandstone Goulburn Court House and St Saviour’s Cathedral. On the northern approach, the Big Merino, built in 1985, signals the importance of sheep grazing to the district.

New South Wales is widely known within Australia for Sydney Harbour, home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The state extends from the Pacific coastline across the Great Dividing Range to wide inland plains within the Murray–Darling Basin. Sydney is Australia’s largest city and a major centre for finance, arts and international travel, while inland districts are strongly associated with farming and long distances between towns. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage area of eucalyptus forests, sandstone escarpments and deep valleys.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
