After breakfast we headed across the street to see the cathedral. A church has been on this site since 1851. The steps were built in 1912-1913 and were used for events and as a meeting place. Construction of the cathedral began in 1925 and finished in 1965.
There are extensive gardens surrounding the cathedral.
We then walked a kilometer to Queen's Gardens and took in the pond and the Chinese garden.
We checked out some heritage buildings on our walk.
This is South Street, which is lined with about 15 cottages that were built for working men and their families in the 1860s. They became quite rundown, but in the 1970s some were renovated. In 1981 the city protected the street and it is now a heritage site. All of the cottages are renovated and many are rented out as B&Bs.
