Watsons Bay, Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church
Our Lady Star of the Sea is a Catholic Church along Old South Head Road, in the eastern suburb of Watsons Bay. This church was built in 1910 from sandstone quarried on the church land and a varnished kauri timber ceiling. It was improved with a choir gallery and new facade in 1940 and further changes in 1966.
The steeple looks new. It is an unusual looking church.
ReplyDeleteMy son was baptised in Our Lady Star of the Sea in 1985. I had to take a double look at the photo but of course my son's baptism was in Greenwich, London, not Sydney.

Carletta, I completely agree about the columns in the front fence. Totally out of place.
