Great! Now that you're approaching stop number 5, you'll want to start looking for a beautiful Gothic-style building that stands proudly against the skyline. It's got that classic church aesthetic with tall, pointed arch windows, and a stunning spire that seems to touch the clouds. Look for stained glass windows; they're bound to catch your eye with their vibrant colors.
Welcome to St John's Church, Bendigo! This lovely building was built back in 1869 and is a perfect example of late Victorian Gothic architecture. Imagine the effort it took to put those intricately designed stone facades together without all the modern machinery we have today.
Why did the church architect only draw straight lines? Because he didn't like Holy Curves!
Jokes aside, St John's isn't just remarkable for its stunning exterior. Step inside, and you’ll find an interior that's just as impressive with vaulted ceilings and finely detailed woodwork. It's a great place to enjoy a bit of peace and reflection. Take a moment to observe the craftsmanship and imagine the generations that have walked through these doors. Ready to move on to the next stop? Let’s head towards Bendigo Post Office!
