This was never located in Quarry Rd. It was located at what is now known as Acorn Drive Warrane. The site is now the St Peters Lutheran Church…… https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Warrane+TAS+7018/@-42.8526271,147.3822141,321m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0xaa6e0ae9f148d923:0x503c94dd0de1860!8m2!3d-42.859722!4d147.376667?hl=en
