A
Holy Trinity Church
Adelaidians love to put the rather patronising moniker of 'the city of churches' into perspective by pointing out that pubs and clubs far outnumber churches. However, among the most impressive churches are the 1838 Holy Trinity Church, the first Anglican church in the state and the oldest surviving church in Adelaide; the 1869-76 St Peter's Cathedral; and the 1856 St Francis Xavier Cathedral.
Nearby on Victoria Sq, other important early buildings include the 1847-50 Magistrate's Court; the 1869 Supreme Court; and the 1839 Old Treasury Building.

Christ Church St Lawrence
Step off Sydney’s main drag into this calming 1845 sandstone church. Check the thickness of your moral fibre before George St lures you into a saucy stew of sex clubs and porn shops.

Hou Wang Temple
As you approach Atherton from Herberton in the southwest, the fabulous Hou Wang Temple is testament to the Chinese migrants who flocked to the area to search for gold in the late 1800s, and is the only Chinese temple in Australia built of corrugated iron.
