New Norcia

What a hidden gem! The only monastic town in Australia. Founded by Spanish monks in 1847 as a mission for local aboriginals, the town has two old boarding schools, flour mill, Abbey Church, wine press, grand hotel and a monastery.

We took a 2 hour walking tour around the town, which was great as we learned the incredible history of the place. We even went to mass on Sunday morning mainly so we could hear the beautiful pipe organ and visiting choir.

Had dinner and cocktails at the hotel and had a great night!Læs mere
