Frommer's Review

Built from 1880 to 1892 from the designs of William Butterfield, a famous English Gothic Revival architect, St. Paul's Cathedral is noteworthy for its decorative interior and the English organ built by T.S. Lewis. Step in to see mosaics on the walls, Victorian tessellated tiles on the floors, woodcarvings, and stained-glass windows. The cathedral sports the second-highest spire (98m/321 ft.) in the Anglican Communion. A boys' choir sings at 5:10pm Tuesday through Friday during school times, and at Sunday services. Outside is a statue of Matthew Flinders, the first sailor to navigate the Australian mainland between 1801 and 1803.
