The chains are still there as is the famine pot(?) but the small statue is gone and the lovely lamp replaced by a palm tree. www.google.es/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x486708991a2e07bf:...

The DIA dates the church to 1866, the tower and spire to 1882.

It is before the Tram arrived

This one in the archive has tram wires, and the creeper has grown across the main door. Clearly later. There is a pole for the tram wires in this little roundabout. The later shot has cobbled roads.

For the past 130 years, the Holy Trinity Anglican Church has been a central place of Christ’s light in a vast Parish district which by 1906 covered 16,000 square miles: including Gore, Inglewood, and Texas to the east, Talwood to the west, and Koorangarra in the north. The first church building on the current site in Bowen Street, Goondiwindi, was completed in 1882 after 11 years of planning, fundraising, and public subscription. The timber church was consecrated by the Right Reverend Matthew Blagden Hale, Bishop of Brisbane on Sunday 23rd April 1882 and remained in use until the current brick church building, three times the size of the old timber structure, was completed in 1939.

Situated on the border between New South Wales and Queensland, Goondiwindi was established in the late 1830s as the first of three large stations in the district. It was gazetted as a town in 1888. The first Anglican service recorded in this district was in 1848 at Wyaga, and the first church on the present site was dedicated on 23 April 1882 by Bishop Hale. The foundation stone for the present church was laid in 1939, and it was opened and dedicated later that year. After being gutted by fire in 1942, the building was restored and finally consecrated by Archbishop Halse on 7 May 1944.1 The organ was completed in November 1952 by Whitehouse Bros of Brisbane at a cost of £1,865.17.6. to a specification that had been agreed in March 1950.2, It was dedicated on 10 December 1952. The Goondiwindi organ was of the same size as the one completed in the same month for the Wynnum Baptist Church (now at St Paul's Anglican Church, East Brisbane), although its tonal design was on a larger scale. Another pneumatic-action organ of the same size and similar specification was built by the firm in 1954 for St Anne's Anglican Church, Gresford, New South Wales. The arrangement of the façade pipes at Goondiwindi and Gresford is identical with that at the Anglican Church Grammar School, East Brisbane, where the Open Diapason stop was added in 1953. The instrument was overhauled in 1988 by Peter Jewkes of Sydney, who surmised at the time that it was possibly the last pneumatic action organ built in Australia.3 This is not quite true, as the Whitehouse firm was still building instruments with pneumatic action as late as 1957.
