ANZAC Day 2024.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Yesterday evening we were thrilled to have a visit from the Hobart bellringers at our practice night.
The first Hobart bellringers tour on the mainland in 132 yrs.
Wonderful to meet you all and we hope the rest of your Vic/NSW/Canberra tour is a lot of fun!

Full circle bellringing is an activity that is done all over the world and with a bit of planning you can meet many people (and bells!) as you travel 😊😊

This architectural wonder was built in three stages, commencing in 1908, a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of its creators. Surprisingly, the timber clad bell tower we see today wasn't added until 1983 - initially intended as a temporary tower, it has now become an iconic part of the Cathedral's silhouette! 🀷

The bells within the tower hold an extraordinary history; they were cast in 1806 following the famous Battle of Trafalgar and stand as the oldest in a continuous row of 8 bells in Australia. πŸ›ŽοΈπŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Their resonance adds a touch of historic charm to this sacred place.

But wait, there's more! 🎹 The Cathedral houses one of the oldest organs in the country, producing captivating melodies that fill the space with timeless music.

Next time you visit Wangaratta, make sure to include Holy Trinity Cathedral in your itinerary. It's a treasure trove of history, culture, and architectural brilliance that will leave you in awe. πŸ“πŸŒΏ

Wonderful to welcome back a young ringer to the tower last night after a few years' absence!
Was also wonderful to be able to practice on all 8 bells. :) :)

πŸ””On Sunday 7th May 2023 our ringers will combine with the ringers from Beechworth to add our contribution to the coronation ringing. In addition to our regular Sunday service ringing (9.30-10am) there will be extra ringing from 11am after the service.
As a special sidenote - one of the ringers also rang for the *last* coronation! :) πŸ””
