The present church sits on the foundation of an older church built in 1866.
In a snapshot of Taralga's history obtained from the website of the Upper Lachlan Shire Council viz (
visit link) the following was said of Taralga:
Taralga's many older buildings are built from the vast number of stones and rocks which litter the volcanic soils for miles around. These two assets combine to produce an architectural style which is unique to Taralga - not quite Georgian, not quite Victorian - with a tendency to larger windows and quite substantial construction.
St. Lukes is certainly a substantial construction using the grey granite rocks found in the district. The roof is still original granite shingles however these are completely covered by lichen.
