Trunkey Creek is a small village in Central New South Wales which owes its existence to gold being discovered in the 1860's. The village offers travellers a pub, a playground, a camping ground, an undercover BBQ & this church.
The church has no resident minister but relies on the nearby Blayney Parish for services which are held on the 2nd & 4th Sundays of the month. Despite its age & weatherboard construction it is in a good state of repair.
At the time of construction Trunkey Creek's (then called Arthur) population would have been swelled because of gold mining however today the overall population is around 200 souls.
Year of construction: 1924
