Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We always try and visit the early churches when we visit country towns as we love the historical feel about the place. More often than not, it also serves as the final resting place for the early settlers. It would be more meaningful if there is an Information Board with historical info about the church and the pioneers of the town.

This site suffered damage due to a fire in December 2018 and there has been a lot of graves that have been vandalised or suffered weather damage. The site is in desperate need or repair and restoration and really does not need visitors doing even more damage. Please respect the site and the graves of our ancestors.

The Church was originally constructed of wattle and daub using pit sawn timbers with a thatched roof of rushes and sedges and dated to 1842. The present building is timber framed weatherboard clad constructed in the Victorian Carpenter Gothic style of architecture. The church is cruciform in plan form with walls lined internally with painted matchboards. There are steeply pitched dark oiled timber rafters with cross ties of forged steel rods. Windows are pairs of cast iron casements with diamond shaped leadlight glass. The floor is concrete.
The Church was built on 15 acres at Location 26 in 1842 by the Reverend John Ramsden Wollaston (1790 to 1856). He was the Colonial Chaplain at Bunbury from 1841 to 1848 and was the first Archdeacon of Western Australia. The first service was held in 1842 but the Church was not consecrated until 1969.
The adjacent cemetery contains the graves of many of the pioneer settlers in the area, including those of William and Margaret Forrest, the parents of Sir John Forrest.
The large Moreton Bay Fig Tree marks the site of Charterhouse, the Wollaston's home from 1841.
The Church still serves the local community, services are held weekly at 8.00am on Sundays, baptisms and weddings by arrangement. I guess that we can claim to be a small part of the history of this Church as both our children were baptised here in the 1970's.
