Another lonely church in Western Australia

You went to see the flooded bridge because it was something to do and you were curious. Most of us have done that when a natural disaster has struck relatively near us. (Pretty and I went and looked at the damage a massive tornado caused a few years ago. It was interesting and we just wanted to see what happened. *shrug*) Hmm... when mom and dad were first married, dad "gave" two acres of land to be used for a church and graveyard on farmland he owned. I don't know who built the church that's there now but one of my older brothers pays the taxes on the land each year and another brother does the mowing and upkeep of the graveyard. A lot of our family are buried there. (It's just a small country church. Next time we drive down that way, I'll take a picture and upload it to myLot and tell this story again.) Pretty and I drove down to see mom and dad's graves yesterday and I explained that, if we wanted to be buried there, there was spaces reserved for our family. We only had to claim the spaces. I told her I don't want to b buried when my time comes. I want to be cremated and the ashes scattered down by the lake about 40 minutes from our house.

I did notice the bar and thought it was odd. What a gorgeous church. I love visiting cemeteries. I’ll check out your post about the flooding and hope to catch your next posts explaining the merinos and Kelpie dogs more

Pretty little church. Do you suppose people still go there on Sundays?

@judyev You’re quite good at spotting quirky little spots of interest on your travels!

That's a lovely church and surrounding look so calm

That's a pretty church. I like the stones.

Love them old stone churches...but I guess it's rather dark inside without electric lights on.

A lonesome church in a rural landscape.

Looks like it is haunted. Why not?

I don't think many people visit this lonely church. There are very few people in the world who will donate their land for the Nobel purpose.

I noticed the iron bar, surely they wanted to be sure that the old place lasts. It is a pretty building. The olive trees can be very old, we have some in the area that are almost a thousand years old.

It looks like a very nice church, I once wrote an article about the fact that most of the Latvian churches out in the country and away from cities are hard to upkeep and also haunted,

I love old churches and enjoy a good explore. On my train journey home from family visits, I pass Peterborough and a few miles south is an old church, with no village nearby. I really must make my up there and have a closer look

What a quaint little church. I love buildings made of stone. We have a massive fireplace made of stone; and it's the focal point in the living room.

Now look at that how well built it is to last forever Judy. And lonely Someone to look after it at all and the grounds?

That stone is lovely. I think my Rufus dog looks like a Kelpie. We had a DNA test done on him and their answer is that he is 100% Australian Cattle Dog. I still think he looks like a Kelpie!

By the way did you know that in Scotland a kelpie is a malevolent water spirit that lives in lochs and can appear in the form of a horse or sometimes a human to lure unsuspecting people to their deaths?

That's an attractive building. Do you think they had any regular congregation apart from the family?
