Built in a striking Gothic Revival style, St. Francis Xavier’s Cathedral is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Adelaide. Named after the Patron Saint of Australia, it is the oldest Cathedral in Australia. First consecrated in 1858 (but not officially completed until 1996) and located in a prominent position on the corner of Wakefield Street and Victoria Square, the Cathedral has long been the heart of Adelaide’s Catholic community.

Victoria Square, Adelaide, South Australia
Situated on the southern end of Victoria Square/ Tarntanyangga, the Three Rivers Fountain is the work of South Australian artist John Dowie AM.
Its unique form represents the three main rivers that provide much of Adelaide’s water: the Torrens is depicted as a woman holding a swan; the Onkaparinga, a woman with a heron; the Murray, an Aboriginal man holding an ibis.
The female figures are a representation of the European cultivation of the land surrounding each river and the male figure is symbolic of the historical and continued Indigenous presence.
The fountain was commissioned by the City of Adelaide to commemorate the visit of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh in 1968 to Adelaide.
