Who we are
High in the mountains above Dungog is an area known as Monkerai which looks down into a peaceful valley and across to hills called 'Linger and Die'. It is an area of early white settlement in New South Wales, where the land was first opened up by the Australian Agricultural Company of convicts and free settlers around 1824 and onwards. These men travelled mostly along the valley between the hills, to a place now known as Gloucester, which is the centre of our Shire of Great Lakes, in which is situated Monkerai. From those early days there still remains a cattle-casement, on which stock used to be driven to market. It is just inside the boundary of the property to be Monastery Land.
This land interests us for what it presently offers; in the most part. it is heavily wooded with rain-forest gullies and of course. natural flora and fauna. The old growth provides magnificent trees of many kinds and undisturbed life in rich diversity. The land has been without development or logging for over thirty-five years, so it represents a fairly unique opportunity for conservation and preservation.
Monkerai is a very quiet location, ideal for a Monastery. Here monks can attend to their worship, work and prayer, living peacefully to God's Glory, in a place of healing and beauty.
One needs only to visit this site at dawn; to listen to the waking sounds of the countryside; to enjoy the vision of the sun rising and the mist evaporating as the blue of the sky intensifies; to be filled with wonder at such a Loving Creator; to contemplate One Who is so amazingly generous and merciful to us all.
The site of the future Monastery, among the trees, just off the not so often used track which may seem hidden: hut in fact is , only twenty-five kilometers from the railway station at Dungog. Dungog is a small, early rural town. beautifully preserved in its setting among rolling hills.

Grant me, O Lord...
Grant me, O Lord, to know what I ought to know,to love what I ought to love, to praise what delights Thee most, to value what is precious in Thy sight, to hate what is offensive to Thee. Do not suffer me to judge according to the sight of my eyes, nor to pass sentence according to the hearing of the ears of ignorant men; but to discern with a true judgment between things visible and spiritual, and above all, always to inquire what is the good pleasure of Thy will.
