The Quang Minh Buddhist Temple is in Melbourne's west, located near Footscray, which has one of Australia's largest Vietnamese communities. Many Vietnamese profess some form of Buddhism, though a significant number of Vietnamese are Catholic This colourful temple is dedicated to the Buddha. He was not a god, but a teacher who taught people to be free from desire and therefore attain nirvana and freedom from suffering. This temple teaches a form of Mahayana Buddhism, often known as "Greater Vehicle" Buddhism, common in China and Japan as well as Vietnam. Visitors are welcome. Please remember that you are in a prayerful environment and act appropriately. If you have not travelled in Asia, some aspects of the temple may be surprising, but it will be interesting.

Preston Mosque is a house of worship for people of the Islamic faith. The mosque is quite plain; Sunni Muslims to not worship images or statues. Devout Muslims pray five times a day. Friday is the Muslim holy day, many men make an effort to attend Friday prayers. Islam is a monotheistic faith, that is, Muslims have only one God. Mohamed is not a God; he is a Prophet. There is a saying "There is one God, and Mohamed is his Prophet." By the way, if you are interested in Islam, the Victorian Mosques have an open day every year..

For a building constructed in 1922, the building has an architectural form from much further back in history. It is a beautiful church with extensive glass work in the windows. It is a real treasure.
