A Spiritual Sanctuary: All Saints Anglican Church Bodalla #tourismaustralia
Situated atop a hill on the outskirts of the charming town of Bodalla in rural New South Wales, a historic church considered one of the most splendidly apportioned in the area. From the tower of this church, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the coastal hinterland. This church holds a fascinating history, deeply intertwined with the Mort family.
T.S. Mort, born in Bolton, Lancashire, England in 1816, went to Australia in 1837. A true pioneer in Australian dairying, Mort established the Bodalla Estate, ventured into engineering and shipbuilding in Balmain, and played a significant role in the wool industry and other enterprises. In his final years, he dedicated himself to developing a process for freezing and exporting Australian meat to meet the demands of England. Tragically, he passed away on May 9, 1878, due to an illness he contracted while caring for one of his workers. He was laid to rest in the cemetery of the beloved Bodalla Estate.
The renowned architect Edmund T. Blackett designed the church, known for his work on the cathedrals of St. Andrews in Sydney and St. Saviours in Goulburn. The construction was overseen by builder Joseph Zeigler of Moruya, with the granite used in the building sourced from the Estate itself. The intricate hand-wrought iron hinges and straps on the entrance door, as well as the stone font inside, were all designed by E.T. Blackett. A parclose screen separates the extension from the original part of the Nave, ensuring a cozy setting for smaller congregations.
The foundation stone of this magnificent church was laid on March 18, 1880, by Thomas Mort's widow, Marianne, his second wife. The church stands as a testament to the rich history and legacy of the Mort family in the Bodalla community.
The woodwork throughout the church is crafted from oak, giving it a timeless and elegant appearance. Imported from England, the stained-glass windows, Chancel tiles, unique marble mosaic reredos, and pipe organ add to the grandeur of the space.
Adorning the Chancel arch are the final words of Thomas Mort: "THINE EYES SHALL SEE THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY." Beyond this arch, the stunning stained-glass windows depicting the transfiguration illuminate the sanctuary. These windows were generously gifted by the people of Bodalla in honour of T.S. Mort and his wife, Theresa Shepheard.
The exquisite hand-embroidered furnishings within the church were meticulously crafted by Mort's daughters. The front of the festal altar was created from Theresa Mort's wedding dress, with her wedding ring even incorporated into the stem of the silver gilt chalice. The oak light standards in the Chancel were fashioned from trees grown on Ernest Mort's property in Surrey, serving as a touching memorial to their youngest son, the Reverend Ernest Mort.
The construction of the church cost £13,000, a significant investment that reflects the dedication and commitment of the Mort family. Numerous tablets line the walls, commemorating both the Mort family members and past worshippers who have contributed to the rich history of the church.

Loved The Serenity Of Glenbrook National Park, First Went There In 1965, As, I Had A Friend Who Lived There, It's Spectacular, And Awesome At The Same Time, Would Love To Go Back For A walk Through It, With All The Wild Life There It Is Really a Great Day To Go There And Relax.😊❤
Thank you for your wonderful comment, It is close to my house and I go there as often as possible. Now is a gret time to explore there as it has had plenty of rain and the waterways are full
Thank you. It is on my bucket list now.
Excellent, and thank you for your kind words and support
Water parks are a great idea. There should be a lot more of them. Fortunately this Nanna has one nearby and my daughter has one near her place too.
I am seeing more and yes they are a fantastic idea. I found so many great parks around Dubbo. Highly recommend taking your grand kids there for a holiday and of course, Western Plains Zoo is awesome. Thank you so much for your continued support
O"brien, a former Chilean Navy Oberon, has also been converted as a museum ship. It can be visited in the southern chilean city of Valdvia.
Wow, that's awesome. Thanks for the information
Happy to be the first for this fine ship.
It is certainly an amazing ship. Very cramped. Amazing that every bit of space is used.
