Some knew it simply as "the old church," others by its official name, and many families had their own affectionate nickname that was passed down over the years.
What did you call it?

We'd love to hear the names you remember, and if there's a story behind it, we'd love to hear that too.

Every memory helps us piece together the living history of this special place.

On the 9th of February, 1980, Ron and Julie Green exchanged their vows at The Church on The Hill, surrounded by 80 to 90 family and friends on what Julie remembers as a very windy day. Their ceremony was officiated by Reverend Peter Bourne.

We are incredibly grateful that Julie has chosen to share these precious photos with us.

Stories like Julie and Ron's remind us that The Church on The Hill is more than a heritage building. It has been the setting for countless moments of love, family, and new beginnings, memories that continue to live on long after the day itself.
Thank you, Julie, for trusting us with your memories and for helping keep the history of The Church on The Hill alive.

Built in 1850, The Church on The Hill has witnessed some of Australia's most significant moments in history.

When this church was first opened, the first ANZAC Day was still decades away. Australia had not yet welcomed its first royal visit, and women were still fighting for the right to vote.

It's a remarkable reminder of just how much history this church has quietly stood through—and why preserving it for future generations is so important.

Is the Church on The Hill still an active place of worship?

Through restoration, we aim to preserve not only the building itself, but the sense of history and community it represents.

After the rain, light still finds its way to the hill.

Set against darkened skies, this rainbow appearing above The Church on The Hill felt like a quiet reminder of hope, resilience, and renewal.

History is not the only thing thriving at The Church on the Hill.

Scattered throughout the grounds are these native flowering gums. Their bright blossoms are a gentle reminder that nature continues to grow alongside the stories held here.

Have you spotted any wildlife or native plants during your visit? We’d love to see your photos.
