St Nectarios Orthodox Church - Rockhampton, Qld, Australia - Orthodox Churches on Waymarking.com

"The church was built in Rockhampton in 1972 by the large number of Greek migrants that had settled in the Rockhampton and surrounding areas since the 1900s.

"Today, the number of Australian-Greeks living in Rockhampton have dwindled, but the church still celebrates the feast of Saint Nektarios." [ex- article in the Courier Mail, 10/11/2016 St Nektarios celebrations, which has the following photo]

Inside this church, ex-above link

The church has a tall steel-framed Bell Tower just inside the brick-edged landscaped garden. No obvious way to make the bell swing, or the clapper clang!

While the church signage clearly states: "GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH OF ST. NECTORIOS", some online searching, including the above, has St Nektarios ... maybe the original Greek spelling.
