Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The foundation stone was laid on September 15, 1864 and the church was opened on November 17, 1866. In a tradition reflecting dedications of churches worldwide, the church was dedicated to Mary, Queen of the Apostles.
Originally, only the nave was complete, and the transept, sanctuary and sacristies were added in 1888. The imposing bell tower and spire weren't installed until 1989, and blessed and dedicated until 1990. The Church of the Apostles replaced the St Joseph's Catholic Church, which resided at the same site for 20 years from 1842. The Roman Catholic Church took over the site in 1838.
It has been built in the revival Gothic style and as it stands now, it's quite eye-catching. It's worth a few minutes of your time to wander around and look at this.

So much history in this beautiful church. Very old church that sits on a site that is visible from the center of the town.

It’s another heritage listed church in Launceston. It’s a Catholic Church that was opened in 1866 and has maintained its original structure. It is situated near Brickfields Reserve. As it was closed, we only saw it from outside.
