St Patrick's Catholic Church is probably the most substantial building in Araluen. I wondered if it dated from the gold mining days, when Araluen had some 35,000 people (now about 170) and over 40 hotels! Though the earlier St Patrick's did indeed date from the 1860s and actually began as one of those hotels, the current building is much more modern, dating from 1940.
