Geocache Description:


This collection of caches has nothing to do with the Church Micro series in the UK. Given that the Australian 2021 census indicates that No Religion and Jedi Knight are still the fastest increasing classifications of the optional religion question "What is the person's religion?" it is not surprising that there is surfeit of empty churches that have been repurposed.

St Luke's Church of England, Brisbane is a heritage-listed former church and now restaurant at 18 Charlotte Street. The building was built by John Steward & Co. The building was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. The site was purchased in 1903 by the Church of England for a new mission church. St Luke's served as a temporary cathedral between the demolition of St Johns Pro-Cathedral, 1904 and the opening of St Johns Cathedral in 1910. Architect, John Smith Murdoch, was commissioned to design a church which would utilise fully the limited site area. St Luke's is a finely detailed brick building in the Romanesque style whose predominant feature is the massive relieving archway containing vertical openings at the end of the chancel. It has a complicated roof form combining both hips and gables, along with a small octagonal tower near the entry. In 1979 St Luke's Church closed and was converted into a restaurant.
