We headed to nearby Bodalla for lunch and along the way back to this lovely church on a hill called All Saints Anglican.

Located in the local government area of Eurobodalla Shire, Bodalla is a small town on the highway on the South Coast. Bodalla is famous for it’s cheese and dairy. From 1856, Thomas Sutcliffe Mort had been acquiring land in the Moruya district, and eventually owned some 38,000 acres. In 1860 he purchased Bodalla Station. He replaced the beef cattle station with an integrated and tenanted dairy estate. He cleared land, drained river swamps, erected fences, laid out farms, sowed imported grasses, and provided milking sheds, cheese and butter-making equipment.

All Saints Church, commemorating Thomas Sutcliffe Mort and his wife Theresa Shepheard Mort, was designed by Edmund Blacket. The foundation stone was laid by Marianne Mort, Thomas’ second wife, on 18 March 1880. It was completed in 1901. The church has one of seven small Henry Willis & Sons organs, built in 1881 and installed the following year.

It was raining, therefore heading into the church was a great call to get out of the inclement weather. Inside this beautiful church we had really lovely features and detailing. The light from the overcast skies outside was soft and fantastic resulting in a lovely interior light.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images below.

This is a stitched panorama of the church interior composed of three vertical frames. An exposure blend from nine (9) bracketed exposures (from -5&1/3EV to +2&2/3EV at 1EV increments) was used for each of those frames. Consequently a total of 27 exposures was used for the final result.
