The Old Brandon Church is the place to go if you're looking for something unique. This historic building has become the home of the Burdekin Artisans.
Formerly Saint Patrick's Catholic Church, the building is listed on the Registers of both the National Estate and the National Trust of Queensland. This excellent example of a 'carpenter Gothic' church has stood on sites in both Jarvisfield and Brandon. After severe damage from cyclone Aivu in 1989, it was purchased by the Burdekin Shire Council, and in 1991 moved to its present site.
Restored, and now opened as a gallery space, admission is free. The gallery is open Thursday to Saturday, from 10am to 4pm, and staffed by volunteer members. Browse through the range of locally produced art works, sculpture, felting and jewellery. You may even pick up one or two original and beautifully created pieces for your home!
