Geocache Description:


This collection of caches has nothing to do with the Church Micro series in the UK. Given that the Australian 2021 census indicates that No Religion and Jedi Knight are still 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.

Tickera Methodist Church, formerly Tickera Bible Christian Church and Seventh Day Adventists

Foundation stones were laid on 4/8/1889 and 7/8/1889 by J H Mitchell of Kadina and W J George of Port Broughton.  The stones were donated by the Wallaroo Mining Company through Captain Hancock. Residents guaranteed to raise and cart the necessary stone and sand, and burn the lime needed to complete the building. Built of limestone rubble with rendered quoins and architraves,
After the Methodists closed their church in 1953 due to a mouse plague Seventh Day Adventists purchased the building and used it for 10 years.  The building was sold and is now a private residence.

There is a nearby historic plaque.  From the plaque you need to gather the following details.
