an amazing work of architecture, this beautiful church is located in a very quiet area of the city along Ann street just a few hundred metres from Chinatown. From outside you can already pick up its structural elegance but is within its wideness that is an incredible sight for the eyes. Entrance is free but the only thing that I... More

This cathedral is a truly spectacular building and is an oasis of calm within the busy CBD. There is a friendly guide there during non-service times to give you a visitor's guide and to answer any questions you have, but it is easy to get lost in admiring the beauty of this grand Brisbane landmark from the stained glass windows...

The building is so lovely and everyone is welcome to attend services any time or just go in for a wonder. There are generally always people there to tell you about it and everyone is so friendly. Definitely worth a look.

Not to be outdone by the Catholics St John's is a well presented and maintained part of Brisbane's heritage and history and an idyllic place in which to reflect . I was delighted with its precinct for a wedding and it is easy accessible.

We were part of a service for the Heart Foundation last year and the accoustics from the choir's performance were beautiful. We really enjoyed the gift shop whilst waiting for the service to begin also.

a beautiful Cathedral, we attended the church service, only to find we had a $75.00 parking ticket when we returned to our car which was parked on the road outside the church. Not enough off street parking, no public parking, & as a visitor to Australia the street sign was totally confusing. We had checked the website which said Street... More

This is a magnificent piece of architecture and a wonderful building to grace the outer edge of the city skyline. This recently completed cathedral is well worth a visit at any opportunity. Thanks should be expressed to all those who had the faith and the courage to push on with its completion (just a few short years ago) after a... More

I am fortunate to have this magnificent building across the street from my apartment building. I'm trying to choose my words carefully, as I write this because it really is remarkable architecture in the age of the new millinium. Even with more modern buildings on all sides, this cathedral stands proud and confident, which makes the onlooker feel ever so... More
