Our Bishop (Bishop Greg Thompson) has chosen to include the figure of an Eaglehawk DIOCESAN within his crest with the kind permission from the Indigenous people of the Hunter Region. The Eaglehawk is a totem for their communities. Its use marks the recognition of PRAYER DIARY the First Peoples in our Diocese and of the invitation to renew our lives Isaiah 40:31. The January 2015 Wattle is used to reflect the beauty of the environment and our commitment to care for the country God has blessed us with.
