Just as the Pontian people rose from the "ashes" and grew and prospered, so will Mt. Mela. God bless.

Here is a little information in English about the owner and property:

"In 1996 Onoufrios found an ideal mountain location of 340 acres at flagpole hill, Flowerdale to commemorate the Monastery of the Virgin Mary Panagia Soumela that was destroyed during the Ottoman occupation.

He has established the Pontic foundation of Panagia Soumela of Australia, where the community has planted over 2500 olive trees and has plans to build a monastery, museum and camping facilities for children."
