All Saints Church, this Anglican church has a colorful history-it started life in the 1860s, about 300 kilometers away from Canberra! Originally this church was the Rookwood Cemetery funeral train station. This train line took coffins out to the Sydney Necropolis for burial until the 1920s. The building then fell into disrepair and in 1957 its stonework was bought by the Parish of North Canberra, and was re-built in its new location. The church is stunning to look at with many anecdotes surrounding the architectural details. Service times vary, call for details.
