Bringing good news to Shark Bay
Shark Bay is steeped in history from the tip of Dirk Hartog Island to the boundary of Hamelin Pool where the old telegraph station still stands. Discovered by the Dutch; named by the French; surveyed and settled by the English, the area has both astounded and fascinated visitors for centuries. In 1699 William Dampier named the area Shark’s Bay.
The Shark Bay parish is based in the beautiful coastal township of Denham. Nearby is the well-known resort of Monkey Mia. Denham is about a 41/4 hour drive north from Geraldton. The official name of the church building is St Andrew by the Sea and is built out of coquina shell block quarried at nearby Hamlin. It is a significant building in the town’s landscape. Funding for the construction came from the ‘League of Help’ – an English organisation committed to building churches overseas. St Andrews was opened in 1954.
