A quick stop here as the Eucharist was about to start in 10 minutes and we didn't want to be caught up in whatever that was.
A much smaller church than the others we had noticed in town. Thanks.

In Ballarat for the day whilst house sitting in Creswick. 
Whilst enjoying the architecture of this lovely city, I grabbed opportunistic photos of GCA’s and Waymarks. A pleasant day for caching.
Grabbed this whilst completing a nearby Adventure Lab.
