Wallacia Mandi (also known as Mandi Wallacia or Mendi Wallacia;[1] Arabic: مندي وليشيا) is a Mandaean temple (mandi) under construction in Wallacia, New South Wales, Australia. The mandi is located on the west bank of the Nepean River. It is the only mandi in Australia located on the banks of a natural river (yardna in Mandaic), a traditional requirement for Mandaean rituals.[2][3]

The Mandaean community in Sydney currently raising funds for the Wallacia Mandi through crowdfunding via GoFundMe.
