Changes

From the first [[Divine Liturgy]] celebrated at Kirribilli Point (Sydney) in 1820, the first Exarch in 1913, and Australia and New Zealand's its first [[bishop]] parishes in 1924the late 1890s, right to the present day, '''Orthodoxy in Australia''' has a short history that is extremely undocumented and, therefore, largely unseen.
