I think the church reflects aspects of Australian country church design, that is, small weatherboard building with gothic windows along the side and an entrance porch at the centre front. However, few of these churches would have coloured glass windows. But it has the North American influence (at least, as I have seen it) as well. The tower/spire mounted centrally on the gable of the church reminds me of several we saw on our travels in 1993, particularly one at which I preached at Setauket on Long Island,USA.

If I remember correctly, it did not have a pond in the church grounds, but it was near to the park which contained a lake and, of course, ducks.

Perhaps A12 still retains something of Australia in her blood.

Well done, girls.
