St Joseph's Church

This church, which was consecrated and opened in August 1924, stands on the site of the first St Joseph’s church, completed by Father Woods in March 1859 and dedicated by him to the loving husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus.

Prior to that, Mass had been celebrated on the same site in a former store, later designated ‘the first place in the township where public worship was held’ and ‘where the first footstep of civilisation was stamped on the South Eastern district’.
