The former St Paul's Anglican Church is now (from 1970) the Greek Orthodox Cathedral, but it retains the earlier sandstone gates with the memorial Honour Rolls. The polished light brown granite slabs are set into a carved sandstone surround with a 'shoulder' for the upper part of the engraved inscription. The first tablet is facing south on the left-hand gate, and reads:

BTW My younger son had just flown over from Perth to help me celebrate my 60th birthday, so he let me do one my passions - Waymarking!
