Located on the shore of Newlands Arm in the Gippsland lakes, St Peter’s Church is surrounded by a “Quiet Garden”.
We welcome all into our garden, to experience the beauty and serenity of creation. Come sit awhile enjoy the birds and surrounds. It had its genesis in the ‘quiet place’ Jesus went to pray. There is a labyrinth, you might like to wander through in order to focus your attention on some inner thoughts or feelings. One small area is a Memorial Garden in which some families have ashes of their loved ones interred.
Our garden has evolved from the efforts of many, all with a passion for gardening, nature and nurture. One very important and notable gardener, involved from almost the onset was Rev Canon Percy Moore, horticulturist and retired priest, at the time of his involvement. We also had considerable input from The Bairnsdale Adult Centre of Education – the Director, Ray Ferres, was a parishioner.
One of the rarer and most valuable commodities available to our society is the opportunity for some quiet, personal time and space. Time spent in the natural environment inspires our reflections and invigorates our actions.
Our garden - registered with the world wide Quiet Garden Movement – was planned as a place of peaceful serenity, open to locals and visitors, who wish to wander and immerse themselves in the beauty of creation. At one stage biblical planting was used - some not so successfully – combined with the labyrinth, promising to provide a place of great beauty.

Holy Communion will continue to be administered with a small amount of wine “intinctured” onto the bread.
