Zen in Footscray
Driving across Footscray I noticed a newly built Buddhist temple situated on the edge of the Maribyrnong River, marked by an imposing 16-meter statue of Heavenly Queen -the seafarer’s deity. In the traditional Chinese architectural style it is rich in color and highly decorative with dragon motifs, carvings of gods and warriors. After ten years in development, the temple is now open to the public with plans for a garden, pavilion and hall yet to be completed. Address: 20 Joseph Rd, Footscray 3011.
