Following the church service, visitors are invited to view the Kameruka Homestead’s gardens, the memorial hall and enjoy a BYO picnic lunch under the trees adjacent to the Lords View Cricket Oval on the estate.

Church warden Sandy Macqueen said the annual service had been going for about 25 years.

“But it’s more of a case of when did the church stop having regular services,” he said. 

Mr Macqueen said the church is usually full at the service – that’s 105 people – but they were prepared with chairs and a marquee if extra people turned up. 

In 1909, Sir Robert Lucas-Tooth endowed a scholarship for Anglican theological students and recently ordained clergymen to attend Oxford or Cambridge Universities. 

Now, 106 years later the trust is still operating.

The chair of the trust is Ian Walker, who will deliver the sermon at the service and will offer some insights into this incredible scholarship.

This historic church, which was built in 1869, has been well preserved and is in very good condition.

The cemetery holds the bodies of many of the pioneering families who worked on or were associated with Kameruka Estate.

Recently, Bega District News wrote an article on the formation of the Friends of Holy Trinity-Kameruka, a group of people who have a deep desire to ensure that the church, cemetery and war memorial are preserved for a long time into the future.

The formation of this group has been a great success and it now has about 90 members. 

It has reignited a strong interest in the church and many descendants are planning to visit this year and in some cases enjoy a family reunion.

Toilet facilities are available at the church and the cricket ground.

The church is located on the Candelo Bega Rd.
