New Norcia Caravan Park

After our Town Tour (which was excellent - only 5 of us on the tour with our guide, so we were driven about the town, to our destinations of interest, by a buggy. Very nice on a warm day) we head to the Roadhouse to have a drink - cappuccino for Roger and Orange juice for me - and we book in to use their campground out the back. $20 per night powered, toilets and shower. We're the only ones at this stage so we have 1st choice of the sites. We must be a bit hot and bothered - not our best park up - couldn't agree so Rog just did his own thing, even he had to concede it was an 'untidy' park. Not to worry - only one other camper arrives for the night, so we're not in the way. Once settled we have lunch - a toasted open focaccia, the bread from the Monastry's Bakery. Make it with relish, avocado, ham, semi dried tomatoes, sliced olives and grated cheese. Very yummy. Now just relax for the rest of the afternoon - I'm enjoying a book and Roger does too, in amongst some wandering about. Tea tonight, Roger cooks up steak and vegetables we have with pkt gravy. Roger has some fruit and yoghurt for dessert. I don't as I've been eating Bakery zucchini bread throughout the afternoon. Roger has his shower in our caravan - turns out the camp shower is not a goer. Back now to reading and relaxing before bed.
5/11/24 Thursday. Wake up around 6am. Roger mentions that he wouldn't mind a walk around the New Norcia buildings before breakfast - sounds like a good idea to me. The walk ends up only being 2.5km - great having another look about. Get back and have our breakfast - both have porridge and cuppas - Roger has some toast as well. I feel like abit more of a walk (I've got plenty of time, the Visitor Centre won't be open until 9.30am) so I do the 'river walk' - similar length to our earlier walk, and I enjoy getting to see the front of the Monestery. When I get back I find Rog has enjoyed a cappuccino from the Roadhouse and reading. We get organised to move on - so drive over closer (only 100m!) to park and go finish our look through the Museum and Gallery. It's around 10.30am when we leave.Læs mere
