An imposing building that shouldn't be, and certainly CAN'T be missed! Spend time walking the perimeter to take in all perspectives, and then just sit for a while, admiring the beauty of the architecture. More

Sacred Heart is Australia's largest provincial cathedral and dramatically sited on a hill in the city. In fact, you can see the dominant spire in the skyline from just about anywhere in the area!
