Geocache Description:


This collection of caches has nothing to do with the Church Micro series in the UK. Given that the Australian 2016 census indicates that No Religion and Jedi Knight are the fastest increasing classifications of the optional religion question "What is the person's religion?" it is not surprising that there is surfeit of empty churches that have been repurposed.

The small chapel displays some elements of Gothic Revival detailing as it retains pointed arches above doors and windows to its front elevation. The land for the church was purchased from Sampson Tall in 1852 and the Church was opened in 1854.
The church closed for worship in 1967. The building was originally constructed of local creek stone "pug" but this feature is no longer visible due to a render coating. 
Since closure as a church the building has been a tennis club, cycling club, Temperance Hall, bed and breakfast and currently a winery tasting room. 

At the list coordinates there is a 3 digit number, ABC.  Use these numbers to calculate the nearby final location of the geocache.

S35° 13.(C-A)AB E138° 34.(A-A)(C-A)C

Checksum: 10 + 16 = 26
