The Katanning Mosque is a mosque in Katanning, Western Australia.
History
[edit | edit source]The mosque was opened in 1980 after it was built by the local Islamic community who arrived in Katanning in 1974 from Christmas Island and Cocos Islands.[1][2] In 1981 it was visited and formally opened by former Malaysian Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman.[3][4]
The Australian media has, at various times, shown interest in the community and mosque, to portray an understanding of an Islamic community located in a remote Australian rural town.[5][6]
Architecture
[edit | edit source]The mosque was constructed with orange bricks and silver minarets.[1]
