Painting in the Mitchell Library that is suggested as St Jude's Randwick. It isn't. It is more likely St Andrew's Presbyterian Church Parramatta, which was demolished and reassembled at Wentworthville.

However, a note found inside the wrappings from Joan Kerr (undated) asserted it was St Andrews Presbyterian, Parramatta.

Below is a link to the latter.

The link above tells us that St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Parramatta was demolished and reassembled in Wentworthville.  The photo of the existing Wentworthville Presbyterian Church in this link looks strikingly like the painting in the Mitchell.
