Great even just for the architecture! Nice for photos - and especially nice when the Jacarandas bloom! More

Beautiful old building with simple design and lines. Worth a visit and drop into the Cathedral to relax and enjoy the quiet peaceful solitude. More

I have been able to experience and sit through a church service myself. I don't really like sitting there for that long. I am more into the city itself. More

I travelled all over Europe to admire beautiful churches and we have one right here on our doorstep. It is also very accessible to visitors staying in the CBD. Sunday mass is quite an uplifting experience. More

I love the atmosphere of the chapel. it has been well restored and you MUST see the enormous wooden carving of Mary MacKillop, Australia's first saint! There is a sense of history there and you are drawn into silent contemplation as you leave behind the hustle and bustle of the traffic outside. More
