Emu Flat. Uniting Church

Uniting (formerly Presbyterian) church Tooborac-Baynton Road, Emu Flat

In the 1860s the Presbyterian minister used to come from Kilmore on
horseback to hold church services at Emu Flat in a small bark building.
It was another ten years before a permanent structure was built. In 1872
residents from the region carted local granite to the site for a new church to
be built.
Services are still held every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month.

A terrific image. Interestingly, we see little rural churches almost identical to this around the Ottawa valley. V

One of the smallest and modest churches I have seen (in western standard at least).
Well captured David, and thank you for the great info.

So reminiscent of the devotion of those early parishioners and the ministers who traveled often on a circuit...it is a lovely old church and so typical in design ..it seems to be still in use...interesting find very well presented,David...V
