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.

St. Mary's Church of England, Springton. Random coursed stonework with rendered quoins. Corrugated galvanised iron gable ended roof to nave and smaller roof to porch. Pointed arched windows to side of nave. Rendered bellcote on the apex of gable at the front elevation. The Anglican congregation was founded about 1870 and its first place worship was about 1km west of the present town. The foundation stone for this building was laid March 28, 1883 and was opened November 18, 1883. In 1982 it was converted into residence. This small church building is located on high ground west of the main street and the evidence of the early Anglicans desire for a physical presence in the district close to the congregation.

From the listed coordinates two stone animals can be seen sitting in front of the porch.  What are these animals?  Find the final location of the cache based on the name of the animals.
