Comments
The St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church is part of the Greek Orthodox Community & Church of Canberra & District, in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia. With Greek immigration from the late 1800s, and particularly by the 1960s, there was a huge need for the community to have a consecrated church. The present church building was consecrated on 30/10/1968, and named after St Nicholas of Myra. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 26/10/2025.
