Gippsland Times, Vic, Friday 1st November 1878, page 3 “NEW CHURCH AT LAKE TYERS. The ceremony of opening a new church in connection with the Church of England Missions to the natives at Lake Tyers’ Aboriginal Station was celebrated on Sunday with unusual éclat.

The plan was furnished gratuitously by Messrs Terry and Oakden, architects, Melbourne.” Gippsland Times, Vic, Friday 12th March 1880, page 4 “…If the exterior of the Church pleased us, we were more than delighted with the interior.
