Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
150th Anniversary of Woolshed Flat ChurchPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Woolshed Flat Church.
James Kemp donated the acre of land where the church now stands as testament to the community’s determination to have a place of worship. Stone for the building came from a nearby quarry, and the building was completed in August 1859 – although parishioners originally had to enter through the back door as there was initially no money left to finish the steps at the front entrance, which were eventually made of Mintaro slate.
Pews were rented to local families to raise money for the church. The church began as a Wesleyan church, then Methodist, before becoming a Uniting Church.
