This is a sumptuous wooden building that served as Wellington's Cathedral for many years. If you haven't seen buildings like it, you really should look in.

Lovely little church 'behind' the main station, short walk up hill from government buildings. It's no longer used every day as a place of prayer. The day we were there a rock band were preparing for their concert to-nigh. nice quaint old feel about the place...but we won't be going to the concert to-night, neither of us are Black Sabbath...

This is a quiet cathedral since it is no longer used for regular services, but shows what the old churches in Wellington and New Zealand must have looked like. The wood structure is amazing. Add to that a great gift shop where prices are as good or better than elsewhere in NZ - and even a clean public toilet!
