North Essendon Uniting Church

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

In 1886, when the Essendon Methodist Church was founded, the area was dominated by gigantic trees, deep gullies and reed-fringed lagoons. Mount Alexander Road, "the main street," was dusty in summer. In winter, the mud was churned axle-deep by bullock drays. From this unpromising beginning sprang what is today the North Essendon Uniting Church, which continues to carry Christ's message to the world. The Church continues to minister to the community from which it sprang, as well as refugees and other multicultural parishioners. Worship is on 10:00 am Sunday.

Burke And Wills Expedition Monument Camp One

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

The Burke and Wills expedition aimed to cross Australia from South to North. It was not a total failure; they did achieve their aim, but perished in the desert on their return trip. This monument was erected to their memory by local identity L T Thompson. It's easy to find -- on the median strip directly opposite the bowling club. Burke and Wills have an enduring fascination, especially in Victoria.
