Brisbane’s stunning neo-Gothic Anglican cathedral is in the final stages of completion — a mere 100 years after it was begun. Don’t be put off by the scaffolding, which will likely still be swaddling it when you visit — from a glassed-off area inside, you can watch the stonemasons use traditional medieval building techniques as they work on the western transept (fronting Ann St.), due to be completed in 2007.
Friendly, knowledgeable volunteer guides run tours and will point out some of the details that make this cathedral uniquely Queensland — like the carved possums on the organ screen and the hand-stitched cushions.
