This tower was originally a mine poppet head and was transported to Maldon as a lookout tower.

It now serves as both a tourist attraction, public lookout and fire lookout on the top of the tower.

This photo is the Holy Trinity Anglican Church at Maldon on a nice sunny autumn Sunday morning.

Holy Trinity Church was designed in Early English gothic style by David Relph Drape and built from local schist with granite dressings. The nave was opened in 1861 and the building progressively enlarged until 1889

It consists of a nave, chancel, western porch, organ chamber and vestry. The interior is of particular note for the splendid east window dating from 1864, the work of accomplished artist John Lyon; other windows include the signed work of William Montgomery.

The first pipe organ in the church was installed in 1865 and is believed to be the Bevington organ now at Holy Trinity Cathedral, Wangaratta. The present organ was built by Fincham & Hobday at a cost of £273 and was opened on 26 April 1893.

It’s been very dry this year at Maldon, almost drought conditions.

Fortunately this week we were blessed with a good amount of autumn rain and it’s not a moment too soon.

This picture was taken from the front of the Beehive Mine Reserve at Maldon looking down Main Street.
