The wine list focuses on small Australian producers, while beer lovers will find craft brews on offer, too."

The cathedral is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register and was designed in the Gothic revival style, with the foundation stone laid in 1901. However, much like the Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals in the Middle Ages, the completion of the building design took place in stages over 100 years, and it was only finally completed in 2009."
