Interior view of St. James' Cathedral in Townsville

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  St James Anglican Cathedral, constructed in English Bond red brick with dressed sandstone trim, is located on a terraced site on Melton Hill between the Townsville central business district and Cleveland bay. The Gothic Revival building was built in two stages, both of which are quite obvious, both in materials and design. The main roof is clad with slate and has a small spire over the nave and transept junction. The lower roof to the side aisles and ambulatory has ribbed metal cladding. The chancel is surrounded by an ambulatory which contains the vestry and a Seaman's Chapel. The north transept has a large organ loft inserted and the roof features exposed trusses with a diagonally boarded ceiling. Cast iron columns with clerestory above separate the side aisles from the nave. The clerestory of the original section of the building contains stained glass windows.

Interior of Rev. Ernest Gribble's church at the Yarrabah Mission, North Queensland, 1899

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Ernest Richard Bulmer Gribble (23 November 1868 – 18 October 1957) was an Australian missionary. Though considered to be temperamentally unsuited to his vocation, he became a strong advocate for better treatment of Australian aborigines, saving whose 'remnants' he considered part of his mission.

A Santo bulto and a painting of the Dolorosa in the church, Trampas, New Mexico (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• apex157x said:

  to suzymillward on the note above: I'm a little confused as to why it only apears to be a few arrows(I couldnt detect any more than, say, 4), but I believe it represents the 7 sorrows or Dolors of Mary Mother of God. The caption says is a painting of the Dolorosa, which I think is translated as "The Way of Suffering". Thats the only thing I could think of. Anybody else have a comment or explanation on this one?
