St Mary's Cathedral
This impressive Gothic cathedral is the mother church of
Australian Catholics and is a landmark in the very heart of Sydney,
situated on the northeastern side of Hyde Park. The cathedral was
built in 1868, but its two towering spires were added as recently
as 2000 after steel frames were put in place by helicopter and clad
in stone. The massive cathedral is constructed from dressed pyrmont
sandstone and laid out in a cruciform design. It has some lovely
stained-glass windows worth viewing.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
Opening Times
Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. Consult website for
