The tower houses a set of eight bells in the English tradition, which are rung every Sunday morning before the 10am service by a team of eight ringers.
The clock in the tower was installed in 1999 and dedicated in 2000 as a gift of the Myer family to commemorate the arrival in Australia of Sidney Myer, whose first Myer Store was opened in Bendigo. Sandhurst trustees also contributed to the installation of the clocks. |
