Description
The old Presbyterian church at twilight in the historic gold mining town of Hill End in New South Wales. This is the selfsame church immortalised by artist Russell Drysdale in his 1948 painting "Picture of Donald Friend" - https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/8170/ - The town was thriving during the gold rush but the small number of buildings and residents that remain today are just enough to make for a cosy, quiet retreat from the noise and stresses of city life.

Thanks Viva! Ooops! I just realised I forgot to include the interesting info about this church being the subject of a Russell Drysdale painting form 1948. Updated now!
