Subject: The Waterworks tends to conjure up images of engines, metal, steel, fire, wood, industrial landscape and obviously water. We hope through this booklet to enlighten you on another side of the Waterworks. Its human side. In 2007 Greg Geoghegan, the great great grandson of the Waterworks first fireman, provided Goulburn Mulwaree Council with the Geoghegan family history specifically relating to their time as residents at the Waterworks. (Introduction, p.5).
