St. Mary's Cathedral gives me a feeling of being back in Oxford. It's the seat of Sydney's Archbishop and is known as the Mother Church of Australian Catholicism. The cathedral features Gothic architecture with pointed arches and spires.

I have to say Westerners keep things quite simple - they didn't even bother coming up with a new name for it!
