The foundation stone was laid in 1916 and the building completed in 1938.

 

The sun was totally in the wrong place, inside the Cathedral it was so very dark.

Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo, Victoria, Australia

A beautiful Catholic Cathedral in Bendigo which was built in 1897 and completed in 1977.  The large pipe organ was installed in 1905, the organ being built by Bishop & Son of London.
I couldn't get a decent photo of the outside due to the sun.
The Cathedral will seat 2,000 people according to the man sitting in the Church who commenced a conversation with me. From memory that same man was sitting in the same place when I last visited the Cathedral :)

The style of the Cathedral is early English Gothic.  A few photos of the outside of the Cathedral.
