  • 1. St Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Cathedral Darwin
    The St Mary's Star of the Sea Cathedral is the main place of Catholic worship in the city of Darwin, Australia, and the seat of the bishop of the Diocese of Darwin. During World War II, the church of St Mary was the seat of the garrison of the military chaplaincy for Australian troops in the city. After the war it became necessary to build a larger structure. The project was underraken by Ian Ferrier from Brisbane. The first stone taken from Rum Jungle, the site of the first uranium mine in the territory, was blessed by Bishop O'Loughlin on 13 July 1958.

The cathedral was blessed and opened for worship by Bishop O'Loughlin on 19 August 1962 and consecrated on 20 August 1972.
