A Very beautiful Cathedral. Reverent and traditional. A perfect place to pray with a lovely history behind it. A gorgeous Statue of St Mary McKillop in the grounds and and lovely Statue of St Francis in the foyer of the church.

Wonderfully built Roman Catholic Church dedicated to one of the most holy and impactful Saints. The Church architecture is an example of Gothic revival architecture. Please visit if you have a chance but be respectful of any services taking place. This is a house of God and you can take pictures after any service is completed.

Love this church a lot. Its architecture both in and out are marvellous. I went during Christmas. Midnight mass was busy and lively. It has underground parking. Given this is a Roman Catholic Church, it was open on Christmas day.

Looks nice, but looks pretty similar to most other cathedrals. I did not go inside but I’m sure it is equally as nice as the outside.

Well preserved and maintained. Lucky to have had a chance to visit this wonderful piece of history. More so we were just in time for a prayer service before commencement of the mass.
