This was taken in Australia. Any comments on the photo?

There is no main subject.
The most prominent building is that at the center but there is nothing interesting about it. The cathedral(?) on the left side would be more interesting.
The buildings seem to be toppling to the left.
Nice sky though. Taken before evening time?
The foreground is not nice, is it a ditch or some underground passage?
The fringes of branches are also distracting. However, I think these can be used to frame a structure given the right angle of view.
Just my two-cents.

Would prefer not to have the stray branches coming from the left n right corners. The trees are distracting IMHO.
Else otherwise, I love the colour of the sky. I like blue :lol:
I would try another shot using a FishEye lens for a different effect.

Good observation raised. Do you think the lens distortion is disturbing?

Some pin-cushioning and barrel distortion?

Yup...in fact, if the photo is taken from such a distance, the widest range of the lens should not be used. You can correct the distortion by zooming in towards the mid range of the lens, and then probably step backwards (provided there is space) so that you still get the same perspective....but minus the distortion.
