What it is
The first church on the site was built in the 1860s, and the Gothic Revival sanctuary was added around 1930, but the planned full cathedral was left unfinished for decades. A major restoration and extension, completed in 2009, joined the old parts with a new nave in a contemporary style and gave the building its present form.
Victoria Square, the green circle around the cathedral, sits at the eastern end of Murray Street close to Royal Perth Hospital.
Getting there by bus
The free Red CAT stops at Murray St Royal Perth Hospital, a minute from the cathedral, and at Hay St Victoria Avenue on its return loop. The Yellow CAT and routes such as 38, 51, 220 and 960 stop on Wellington Street at Royal Perth Hospital, a short walk north.
From Perth station or Elizabeth Quay, the Red CAT is the most direct free connection.
