Auburn Gallipoli Mosque

Where was it? What did you do and see at the mosque?

What did u learn? Identify major items /facts

What you gained from the experience?

 The Auburn Gallipoli Mosque was located in Auburn, Sydney
At the mosque we where taken into the main hall where we sat down and listened to a Muslim Lady talk about the religion of Islam and its values and beliefs. 

 I learnt that it was the biggest mosque in Australia seating 2000 people, and that all the artwork and main features such as the carpet, tiles and decorated walls are all from Turkey and the walls where handpainted by men from Turkey which took 6 months to be completely done. 

 I gained knowledge about a different religion besides my own and how different two religions can be, it was an interesting day that I really enjoyed.
