An image of the interior of the abandoned Catholic church of St. Malachy in Gooloogong, New South Wales. It shows the apse at the rear of the church, entered through a pointed arch doorway. The image is featured on the Facebook site for the Medieval Shoppe, who design historical replicas of swords, armour and other weapons.
The church, which fell out of use in 1914, was also used as an infants' school, but was later abandoned and has been ever since. The building possesses many gothic architectural features, such as a vaulted ceiling, and pointed arched doorways and windows.

Dance Review: Romeo and Juliet
Australian Ballet, ballet, dance, Jeff Busby, Dance Review: Romeo and Juliet, Gothic, Perth, Nina Levy, Graeme Murphy, Sergei Prokofiev, Romeo and Juliet, set design, vaulted ceiling, WA, website, The West Australian, Western Australia.
<p>Nina Levy’s review of Graeme Murphy’s production of Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet by the Australian Ballet appeared in the online version of The West Australian newspaper on October 12, 2012. It includes a photograph by Jeff Busby. Although the review is positive overall, Levy criticises the ‘variety of locations in time and place’. These include ‘medieval-looking vaulted rooms’ which presumably had vaulted ceilings. Ribbed vaulting was a characteristic feature of Gothic architecture of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. </p>

Interior of St. Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney

St Andrew’s Cathedral on George Street in central Sydney was consecrated in 1868, making it the oldest cathedral in Australia. The Anglican cathedral was designed by the English architect Edmund Blacket, who later became the colonial architect to New South Wales. The building is in the Gothic revival style, and features gargoyles, pointed arched windows, stained glass, crenellation, towers, and tracery. Unusually, due to the ease of access from George Street, the Cathedral is now entered through the east end and the interior has been reorientated accordingly. This photograph shows the internal arches and vaulted ceiling of the cathedral.

Two interior photographs of St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne. Features include stained glass windows, including the Great Window installed in 1867 (photograph 3), a vaulted ribbed ceiling, window tracery, and internal arches featuring sculptures of human heads. St Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral was designed by English-born architect William Wardell and incorporated parts of an earlier church on the site. Although the foundation stone was laid in 1858, the cathedral was not consecrated until 1897, and was only completed in 1939. The bluestone building was built in the Gothic Revival style and is based on English churches of c. 1350-1500.

Interior, Our Lady of Mt Carmel and Sts Peter and Paul, Mullewa
Catholic, church, column, dome, John Cyril Hawes, Monsignor Hawes, Mullewa, Our Lady of Mt Carmel and Sts Peter and Paul, Romanesque, sanctuary, sculpture, semi-circular arch, vaulted ceiling, WA, Western Australia
The church of Our Lady of Mt Carmel and Sts Peter and Paul is in the small rural Western Australian town of Mullewa. The church was built between 1920 and 1927 to the design of Monsignor John Cyril Hawes as his parish church. Hawes was also the builder, fundraiser, and a labourer for the building. His design for the church changed following a study tour to France, Spain and Italy in 1923, and Hawes stated that the style was inspired by twelfth-century churches found in southern France. The elaborate interior of the church includes prominent brick ribs to create a vaulted ceiling. The photograph shows the sanctuary.
For more on the architecture of Monsignor Hawes see John J. Taylor, Between Devotion and Design: The Architecture of John Cyril Hawes 1876-1956 (University of Western Australia Press, Nedlands, 2000).
