Why Visit New Norcia

New Norcia is unlike anywhere else in Australia. Established by Spanish Benedictine monks in the 1840s, it remains Australia’s only monastic town and is filled with grand historic buildings, religious art, museums and European-inspired architecture.

Tour highlights often include:

• Guided tours through the Benedictine Abbey precinct
• Visits to the Abbey Church and museum
• Viewing rare artefacts gifted by Spanish royalty and Popes
• Exploring the stunning Gothic-style St Gertrude’s College
• Tasting local produce including olive oil, breads and the famous New Norcia nut cake

The town offers a completely different side of Western Australia — rich in heritage, spirituality and fascinating stories from the state’s colonial past.

Explore the Mystical Pinnacles Desert

Located within Nambung National Park, the Pinnacles Desert is one of Western Australia’s most iconic natural attractions.

Thousands of ancient limestone pillars rise dramatically from golden sands, creating an otherworldly landscape that feels almost surreal. Visitors can enjoy:

• Scenic walks through the Pinnacles Desert
• Lookout views across the formations
• Photography opportunities
• Optional visits to the Pinnacles Discovery Centre
• Seasonal wildflowers (usually August to November)

Many travellers describe the Pinnacles as one of WA’s most unique landscapes, especially during late afternoon light.
