Really nice capture William, it’s a stunning building. I was fascinated to find out this church was built in the style on-the-round, as I ashamed to say that after 20yrs in Melbourne I walked inside it for the first time 2 weeks ago

correction – Uniting church is built on the round, but this church is the Scots Church dear one, Melbourne’s first Presbytarian church – it’s the bluestone on the other corner :) delete my comments if you wish after you’ve adjusted your info hugs
