Old St Mark's Anglican Church, Heritage-listed Anglican church in Daisy Hill, Queensland, Australia.
Old St Mark's Anglican Church is a timber building from the early 1900s with a steep corrugated iron roof and weatherboard walls. Inside, the walls are lined with silky oak boards, while concrete stumps raise the structure above the ground to protect it from moisture.
The building was constructed in 1901 by local builder W Anthony on land given to the community by the Gommersall family. It served the parish until the growing congregation needed a larger church nearby.
The cemetery surrounding the building holds graves of the families who built this community from the start. Walking through it, you see the names of people whose descendants still live in the area today.
The location is accessible to visitors who want to see the building and walk through the cemetery grounds. Plan to spend time reading the gravestones, especially if you are interested in the families that shaped this area.
The building was carefully restored in 2001 and refilled with original furniture and fixtures, turning it into a window to early church life in the region. At the same time, modern accessibility features were added for disabled visitors, balancing history with present-day needs.
