This 2 places actually are the area that most of Muslim community live. Fyi, this places were recommended by Dr Wan (Dr Wan stay dkt lakemba when taking his PhD).

Destination – Auburn (2pm-4pm) 

-ok guys, next stop is auburn. Auburn is another place where most of the Muslim in Sydney live in. Sampai jek kt auburn, we went straight to masjid utk solat zohor. As for Auburn, we only managed to visit the mosque there. The name of the mosque is Auburn Gallipoli Mosque, which is  the largest Mosque in Australia.The project of building the mosque was initiated and largely funded by Turkish community. Org2 yg biasa meramaikan masjid tu 50% are the Turkish while the other 50% are the community from various ethnic backgrounds. Maksud disebalik nama masjid ni reflects the shared legacy of Australian society and the main community behind the construction of the mosque which is the Australian Turkish Muslim Community. Gallipoli peninsula is located in Turki.
