Brisbane Australia Temple, Mormon temple in Kangaroo Point, Australia
Brisbane Australia Temple is a light gray granite temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 200 River Terrace, Kangaroo Point, overlooking the Brisbane River. It has a single attached spire topped by a statue of the angel Moroni facing east. Inside are two ordinance rooms, two sealing rooms, and a baptistry.
The temple opened in 2003 and became the fifth house of worship for this church in Australia. Its construction marked an important point in the growth of the community across the country.
The name Brisbane Australia Temple follows the church's convention of naming temples after their city and country. The first ordinance room holds a three-wall mural of the Glasshouse Mountains by Utah artist Linda Curly-Christensen, and the foyer displays a painting of Mt. Mitchell by Queensland artist Ken Wenzel. The angel Moroni statue faces east, reflecting the belief in Christ's Second Coming from the east.
The grounds offer accessible pathways where visitors can walk and take in views of the river and city skyline. Comfortable shoes are recommended, especially if you plan to explore the surrounding area.
The angel Moroni statue on the single spire faces east, a symbol of the belief that Christ will come from the east. The spire is attached to the building rather than freestanding, and the 0.86-acre site includes water fountains, palm trees and stepped gardens.
