Make sure you go to the cathedral if you are a visitor to Newcastle. Apart from the architecture of the building itself, it has several museum-like exhibits; mainly military associated, such as a Victoria Cross. There are self-guide sheets available to help you get the most out of your visit and knowledgable volunteers. Well worth spending an hour here.
Would have liked to have gone inside but didn't want to crash a wedding! A rather imposing building from the outside which can be seen from a few of the vantage points from around town.
We attended two services over Christmas while my mother was visiting from interstate. The choir was an added bonus can highly recommend if you are a church goer to attend a service. We were welcomed by the very friendly congregation and the minister took the time to talk to each of us. Even remembered us being there three days before.. The building is beautiful inside and out and amazing how it survived the earthquake
If in Newcastle this is well worth a visit. why , because in Australia there there are no churches comparable to Europe but by Aussie standard this is pretty good.The attendants on the day we visited made an effort to ensure we saw all the notable features without being intrusive.
I am not a church-goer or even a religious man but considering we did the hike all the way to the top of The Hill on a hot Summer's day my wife convinced me to have a look inside the Cathedral. I am very glad I did. I even dropped to my knees once inside and said a prayer.....A lot to see and take in inside the cathedral. Really is a wonder....
There was nothing to dislike about the Christmas Service, amazing talent of the singers and a wonderful celebration of our Christian beliefs.
What a view. A magnificent Cathedral standing on top of an incredible hill overlooking the most magnificent views of Newcastle
An icon of Newcastle which can be seen from many places as it sits high on a hill overlooking the city.If you go make sure you climb the tower to the top ( a few bucks donation needed ) for absolutely stunning views.
A beautifully lit building that towers over Newcastle. Nothing special inside. Would like to have climbed the tower. A service in this beautiful building is better than a self-guided tour. Music sounds lovely.
A beautiful old Church perched high on the hill overlooking Newcastle City and water.A lovely church regardless of your religion - worth visiting even if only for the craftsmanship of the building and beautiful landscaped surrounds.
