Sacred Heart Cathedral.
Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo, Australia's largest provincial church, is dramatically sited and impressive in scale. Built in the Gothic Revival style, It was designed by Reed, Smart & Tappin in the Decorated Gothic style and built of sandstone and granite. The nave was built in 1896-1901. After a long interval, work recommenced on the cathedral in 1954 and was completed in 1977. The later works were designed by Bates, Smart and McCutcheon, the successor of Reed, Barnes and Tappin. The spire was of lighter construction than that originally designed, being steel framed and clad with a masonry veneer. Sacred Heart Cathedral is 75 metres long and has a ceiling height of 24 metres. The main spire is 87 metres high.
