No. 1286 - Triabunna - Kingdom Hall
Triabunna is a small town on the east coast. It was established as a whaling station and was later used as a garrison town. It is part of the coastline discovered by Nicolas Baudin in 1802. Its name is an aboriginal word for 'native hen'.
Triabunna’s Kingdom Hall is located on Charles Street, north of the Tasman Highway. It is built in the style typical of most of the 21 Kingdom Halls established in Tasmania. The Triabunna Hall recently closed and the building was sold in August 2021. No published information about the hall is available.
The Jehovah's Witness diverges from the mainstream doctrines of Christianity in that it is a non-trinitarian tradition. Jehovah's Witnesses believe their denomination is a restoration of first-century Christianity. The historical persecution of members of the Jehovah’s Witness in many countries, including Australia, has further contributed to the denomination maintaining a low profile in the media. For this reason the history of the Jehovah Witness in Tasmania presents a challenge to research.
The following information is derived from the Jehovah Witness’ official tract ''The Watchtower':
“In the early 1900s a member of the International Bible Students Association, as Jehovah's Witnesses were known, was distributing Bible study publications in Tasmania. Literature was left with the postmaster at Queenstown, Tom Anderson, and he and his wife became Witnesses. Around this time, E. Brewster preached around the state. In about 1908 Bible students were active in the Westbury area, and spread to the north-east of Tasmania. The Witnesses operated radio station 7UV in Ulverstone from 1934 to spread the Bible's message. In 1945 the Witnesses purchased their first Kingdom Hall (church) in Hobart".
