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.

  2. My 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.

  21. It's a lovely old church sitting gracefully against the blue sky.
    I think the ornate fence seems out of place and not quite suitable. :)

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