Itinerary:
Valid for 01APR23-31MAR25:
Travelling through the Swan Valley, arrive at New Norcia, home to Australia’s only Benedictine Abbey. A little piece of Spain comes alive in this town full of history, art and architecture. Hear the local history before viewing the chapel and museum artifacts gifted to the monastery by Popes and Royalty of Spain. Visit the famous Benedictine Community with a guided tour of the town and main sites including the museum and art gallery where you will find extraordinary artifacts dating back to when New Norcia was an Aboriginal mission. Next move on to the Abbey Church; home to one of only two large Moser organs, originally crafted in Germany, followed by a visit to St Gertrude’s College, a grand gothic style building which was originally built as a girls boarding school and opened in 1908. Then visit a produce shop selling olive oil, fruit, wine, New Norcia nut cake and breads before enjoying lunch. Continue on for an easy paced walk through the mystical Pinnacles Desert. If time permits make a visit to the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre. Return to Perth down the Indian Ocean Drive arriving at approximately 7.30pm.
