This is a quaint little church in my town of Bunyip. It has a lovely presence in town. It is really cute inside, lots of wood, stained glass windows and a lovely ambience.
Following is some historical info that I knocked off from Wikipedia, so it must be true, right???
In 1902 the foundation of St Thomas' Anglican Church was laid on the hill above the town. The Bunyip Parish of St. Thomas' was originally part of the Gippsland Forest mission in 1879 and early services were held in Kraft's Hall. On 15 October 1902, Mrs. W.A. A'Beckett Snr. of Brighton laid the foundation block for the new church which was designed by architect Frederick L. Klingender. This church was built on land donated by the A'Beckett family and cost over £377 and the opening was conducted by the Right Rev. Bishop Arthur Pain, the first Bishop of the Diocese on 28 December 1902.
Extensive alterations were made to the church in 1919 due to damage caused by white ants. In 1980 another restoration appeal was launched to rectify structural problems relating to the roof, to reblock the floor and for repainting.
