 Auburn Gallipoli Mosque

Claire and Wendy, two Guide Leaders recently visited the Auburn Mosque. 

After being warmly welcomed by the Muslim women, they were given a tour of the mosque to explain the history and the decorations.  "It was so beautiful, just imagine, all the inside walls and ceilings are hand painted!

Questions were encouraged on the building and the Muslim faith and were answered clearly and succinctly. They learnt a lot more about the faith and also how the media have distorted somewhat the treatment of women. These were all strong, educated and articulate women and the day was very special and enjoyable. They were very excited to have Guides visiting.

Tours of Auburn Mosque can be arranged, visit their website for more details.
