St George’s Anglican Church
During the 1930’s, the Northwest diocese of the Anglican Church decided to expand their operations to include a second parish in Geraldton. However, this did not eventuate until Cicely Biddle arrived in Geraldton from England in 1933. Miss Biddle raised around £1200 from England for the building of a church in the suburb of Bluff Point, which was completed in 1935. The churches bell tower is three stories tall, and the bell weighs over three hundred kilograms. In 1961, a piece of stone from the one thousand year old St Georges Church in England was fixed into one of the church walls.
The church grounds feature several interesting works such as the lychgate built from rock of an attractive red hue, with a wrought iron gate depicting St George and the Dragon. There are also two beautiful stone colonnades with pillars, which have unfortunately deteriorated due to the elements. Several dedicated parishioners are, however, working to restore these historical structures for future generations.
