Other Churches in Western Australia
There are specific pages covering Anglican, Catholic and Uniting Churches
in Western Australia due to their sheer numbers. Here are other places of worship we have come across
in our travels. What a diverse place we live in. Placing these denominations together on a single page
does not serve to diminish the relevance of any of them

Wembley
The Church of Christ on Nanson Street, this time looking down the side. It is easy
to see here the old and new sections of the church. Perhaps the Foundation Stone was removed from
the front of the old church and relocated to the front of the new section?

Perth
On the corner of William Street and
Robinson Avenue, this Mosque is a familiar landmark. It is hard to
believe this was built as long ago as 1904 as it looks a lot more recent. Photo - July 2010 |

Fremantle
Behind these shops
is the old Jewish Synagogue which was built in 1902. The Star of David is

handful of years before another one opened in Perth. The shops at the front were added
later by Mr Beer. Photo - January 2012 |

Fremantle
This is the rear of the synagogue which is behind the Beers Buildings. This view
is as seen from near the main entrance to Fremantle Oval. Construction work is being undertaken
on the land on this side of the building so this view may be lost in time. Photo - December 2014 |

of the Jewish, Anglican, Presbyterian and Catholic faiths. Photo - December 2015 |

Yarloop
A visit to Yarloop nine months after the devastating January 2016 bushfire.
This building was spared. This is on the south side of town and used to be the Anglican All
Saints Church built in 1909. Up until recently the building was abandoned, the home
of just bees. The January destruction of the Catholic Church and the need for a spiritual
presence has seen the building renovated by the community and opened as a Christian Non-Denominational Church.

Mardella
At 191 Wright Road but only slightly south of the Mundijong townsite is the brand new
Free Reformed Church complex. Just nearing completion, it looks fabulous. A whole lot of passionate
work must have gone into building this place because you can feel that in the air. Photo - March 2017 |

and was first known as St Hilary's Hall however by 1944 it became known as it is known today, the Spiritualist Church and Hall.
It looks very smart. All locked and barred today so I couldn't get in to search for a foundation stone.

Ukrainian Orthodox Church |

Maylands
Right down at the south end of Ferguson Street is this Ukrainian Orthodox Church of St Nicholas the Wonderworker.
The compound is mostly inaccessible as the gates are locked so I have not been able to sight a foundation stone thus far or take a complimentary photo.
The brickwork hints of a 1930's build. Photo: September 2024. Photos Ref: MAYL005 |
