Steel Wings Windmill
Situated at Luke
Park adjacent to Lake Jerilderie, this structure is truly a
magnificent sight. Made in Sydney 1909 -1910 the windmill was
erected at Goolgumbla Station and used for stock and domestic
supplies.
Due to wind damage the item was rendered
unserviceable until a Local Restoration Committee resurrected it in
its present position in 1979. It stands 50 foot (15.24 metres) tall,
has a wheel diameter of 25 foot (7.62 metres) and a tail length of
24 foot (7.315 metres).
