Bells in Katoomba

We had known for a while that bells were to installed in St Hilda's Anglican  Church, Katoomba.  The bells have arrived and are lined up along the southern wall of the church.  The tower has been undergoing repairs and modifications.

Here they are, all six of them.


The two largest bells - the tenor (the biggest) is on the left.

Five wheels waiting for their bells to be attached.  You can also see a single wheel behind the tenor on the southern side of the church.

The ringing room will be on the ground floor (music to my ears - no medieval stone staircases).

And a couple of close-ups for those still reading! Notice how shiny they are - before the dust and oxidation and various crap has begun to stain them.




And after that, we enjoyed a lovely view of the Jamison Valley from the hotel.
