St. John The Evangelist Anglican Church, Cairns

It's the first church to be built in Cairns, in 1884 and by that time, the only practiced religion was the Church of England. The building that is known today as the St. John The Evangelist Anglican Church, isn’t the original one. The original St. John was damaged by a cyclone and, in 1920, was demolished. Fortunately, in 1927, a new church was blessed and has since been a hub of activity. The church owns items of historic value, such as wooden vestries, a hexagonal pulpit, and brass crosses.
