Comments

The former Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Dawson property is now privately owned. The church had been part of the Diocese of Port Augusta/Port Pirie. The church building was designed by Father John Norton, an architect turned priest. The former building stands forlorn in the vacant paddocks of the once optomistic farming town/district of Dawson. It was opened in 1886,  a year in which there was no harvest. Funds had been raised from the local community. With the failure of farming in this location and the decline in the town population, the church was closed in 1969.  No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 18/2/2019.
