The framing on this is fantastic.

This church is not in South Brisbane. It is in Hawthorne Street, Woolloongabba.

Thanks for that information. We'll update the record and location on the map. We're always happy to have information added to our records and corrections made.

A NEIGHBORHOOD ICON: Holy Trinity Church houses many memorials to parish members. The columbarium, completed in 1938, was the first of its kind in Queensland. Honor boards in the rear of the church name 225 men and women who served in the two world wars, most of whom hailed from the local neighborhood. The freestanding bell tower, dedicated to those who died in WWII, was originally erected within a memorial garden on the church grounds. A cross from the Church in Japan honours Holy Trinity parishioner John Duffill, one of the New Guinea Martyrs of 1942. Source: www.holytrinity.com.au/our-history

St Andrew's Uniting Church at Bundaberg is a substantial brick church located in the heart of the city, at the corner of Maryborough and Woongarra Streets, opposite Buss Park. Designed in the Gothic style, the body of the church is cruciform in shape and is positioned north-south such that the sanctuary faces north. The building is constructed of variegated and multi-colored bricks, with decorative cement dressings on the external walls. The roof is clad with fibrous-cement tiles. The building is laid on a cement foundation and its maximum overall dimensions are 115 feet by 41 feet. A carillon tower of 'battlement design', attached to the eastern side of the building, dominates the building. The tower measures 71 feet in height and slightly tapers toward the top. Each face of the tower has decorative arched openings and is crowned with the cross of St Andrew on the middle battlement. The tower contains a carillon, or set of bells, one of which bears the emblem of the burning bush and dedication to the memory of members of the Pierson family. A First World War Honour Board is located in the Tower entry and later memorials have been added. At the southern end of the church is the official main entry. Above the entry is a large stained glass window that consists of four large panels crowned by seven crosses; the whole arrangement is set within an arch. There are six stained glass windows along either side of the nave, set between the buttresses. Exposed arched trusses in dark stained pine support the roof structure and dominate the internal ceiling. The eastern and southern boundaries of the property are marked by a low stone fence, with a small roofed gate (reminiscent of a lych gate) at the corner where the two boundaries meet. . The gate is made of the same stone as the fence and has a fibrous-cement tiled roof. Gardens have been established along the sides and southern end of the church. These consist of garden beds along the base of the walls, low set shrubs, and a number of small trees. These help to reinforce links with the neighboring Buss Park.

Opened circa 1872. St Mathew’s Anglican Church was founded in 1869 and completed in 1874, beside Rocklea (now Sherwood) Rd. The church and adjacent cemetery (beside Oxley Creek) were dedicated in 1874 but the cemetery’s earliest headstone is from 1872. The church burnt down on 27 September 1921 but the cemetery remained open. It has pioneers’ graves, a cremation columbarium wall and a lawn cemetery. It contains the (1902) Berry and MacFarlane Monument that is one of only two Boer War memorials in Brisbane. Source: mappingbrisbanehistory.com.au/history-location/st-matthew...
