two windmills

This really big windmill was made in Sydney in 1910 and brought by rail and bullock waggon to Goolgumbla (sheep) Station in the Riverina where it pumped underground water to the homestead, ram sheds and dams up until 1977 when it was wind damaged beyond repair. The windmill was given as a historical exhibit to Jerilderie town. It was restored and from 1979 has been in Luke Park, where it pumps water (when available) from the Billabong Creek into the lake.

This is a much more common site, a Southern Cross windmill.
