Comments
The former St Augustine's Anglican Church, Macquarie Plains is now closed, and the property was sold in June 2022. The church was part of the Diocese of Tasmania. Before the church building was opened and dedicated in December 1904, services were held in the waiting room of the local railway station. In 1960 a flood almost reached the guttering of the building. The church celebrated its centenary in 2004. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 9/6/2023.
