St John's Anglican Church, South Townsville

The wooden church building features large sliding doors, deep verandahs, and a prominent lancet arch separating the nave from the sanctuary.

Two previous churches at this location were destroyed by cyclones in 1896 and 1903 before the construction of the current structure in 1907.

The church maintains its role as a religious center in South Townsville, contributing to the spiritual and social life of the community.

The building incorporates design elements specifically adapted for tropical climate, including cross ventilation systems throughout the structure.

The church grounds contain indigenous Terminalia trees and mature Frangipani, creating distinctive pathways within the religious precinct.
