This Gothic-style Catholic cathedral is Australia's largest and oldest religious building. It appears particularly majestic in the evening light. The main doors are open for anyone to enter. Inside, people were standing in neat rows for worship, creating an extremely solemn atmosphere. We felt too intimidated to even speak, hastily took one photo, and quickly left.
