Day 170: St Michaels Catholic Church – Gordonvale.


 Down the road, Gordonvale may only be 10 minutes away by car.  It holds a pretty special part of history for the area, and a lot of buildings haven’t changed much from back in the day, which adds to the character of the town.  St Michaels was built in 1934, and recently had a new coat of paint, and the leaky roof restored.  With the onset of the wet season is a great thing.  It is a beautiful old church, in this area.  Did you also know Gordonvale wasn’t always known as such?  It was called Nelson; it was changed to honour a local pioneer John Gordon.
