Ebenezer Church, Presbyterian church in Hawkesbury, Australia.

The stone building features heavy block walls and a pitched slate roof, standing near the Hawkesbury River with a cemetery on sloping grounds.

Construction of the church began in 1809 under architect Andrew Johnston, making it the oldest existing church structure in Australia.

Fifteen pioneer families who arrived on the Coromandel ship in 1802 established the first Presbyterian congregation in Australia at this location.

The former schoolmaster's residence from 1817 now functions as a museum where visitors can learn about colonial history and enjoy refreshments.

The original cedar bookcase belonging to Dr. John McGarvie, the first ordained minister from 1826, remains in the entrance porch.
