St. Saviour's Cathedral in Goulburn is a captivating sight with its impressive belltower, towering windows, and grand stone architecture. As you stroll down Bourke Street, you can't help but be drawn in by its majestic presence. The cathedral stands proudly, interrupting the usual flow of Montague Street with its commanding stature.
In a fascinating historical twist, Royal Letters Patent issued by Queen Victoria on March 14, 1863, established the Diocese of Goulburn. This act granted Goulburn the status of a city, marking it as Australia's first inland city. It's a remarkable piece of history that adds to the charm of wandering through Goulburn's streets.
While you're there, take a moment to appreciate the intricate details of the stone carvings and the beautiful stained glass windows. The cathedral isn't just a place of worship; it's a piece of art and history that invites you to explore its stories. The peaceful atmosphere inside offers a perfect escape from the bustling streets outside.
