{{orthodoxyinaustralasia}}Since From the first [[Divine Liturgy ]] celebrated at Kirribilli Point (Sydney) in 1820, New Zealand's first [[priest ]] in 1910, Australia's first Exarch in 1913, and Australia and New Zealand's first [[bishop ]] in 1924, right to the present day; , '''Orthodoxy in Australasia''' has a short history that is extremely undocumented and, therefore, largely unseen.
