While the Town Tour is the best way to see what lies behind closed doors and hear the story of New Norcia; if organised tours aren’t for you or you have arrived outside of tour hours, there is still plenty to see and do in New Norcia.
Here are some of our favourite things in New Norcia:
* Lose yourself for an hour in the Art Gallery where European religious art in the grand style, hangs alongside contemporary Australian religious art, open 9am - 4.30pm daily, closed Christmas Day.
* Experience a 1500 year-old tradition and join our monks in their private chapel to pray the Divine Office (six times daily).
* Visit the Abbey Church, which houses one of only two large Moser organs crafted in Germany and imported to Australia in the 1920s. The church walls display a rare form of art called “sgraffito” alongside more conventional and familiar religious icons and paintings. The Abbey Church also contains the tomb of Rosendo Salvado, the founder of New Norcia.
* Stroll up the hill to the grand New Norcia Hotel and linger over a glass of Abbey Wine or Australia’s premier Abbey Ale, exclusively on tap at New Norcia. Have a look around the Hotel and the beautiful architecture inside.
* Browse the delightfully eclectic range of products in the Museum Gift Shop. The Gift Shop offers a delightful range of locally sourced produce including our renowned New Norcia bread and an assortment of home-made preserves and honey. The Gift Shop also features an assortment of religious items and souvenirs, natural cosmetics, toiletries, wool products, art, books and music.
* Stroll to the Education Centre and marvel at the beautiful Aboriginal artwork and river mural.
* Explore the Mission Cottage and imagine what life would have been like in the early days of New Norcia.
* Go for a walk along the New Norcia Heritage Riverwalk. The trail traces the development of early settlement and starts at the New Norcia Museum & Art Gallery. It is 2km long (with an optional 1.7km long River Walk) and is suitable for all walkers.
* Or do nothing except soak up the peace of it all. Pax!
The drive from Perth to Paynes Find - about four and a half hours north east - takes you through a landscape of dynamic colour.
From Perth, head to Guildford in the Swan Valley before setting off along the Great Northern Highway to New Norcia - Australia's only monastic town. Take time to explore the stylish Spanish architecture, including the Benedictine Monastery that dates back to 1846.
Should a tour of the monastery work up an appetite - no problem because the monks' mouthwatering baked goods and olive oil are available for purchase. Be sure to sample the delectable nut cake, crusty bread and wood-fired almond biscotti.
From here, continue another hour and 15 minutes inland to Dalwallinu. Affectionately known as the "Gateway to the World of Wattles (Acacias)", this is the first town on the Wildflower Way, which stretches north to Mullewa.
The area within a 100 kilometre radius of the town is home to the greatest density and most diverse range of acacia species in the world. Visit in September for Dalwallinu's annual wattle week festival, where you'll be treated to a street parade and rural market day.
And while you're here, be sure to save time for a picnic lunch among wildflowers and native fauna at Petrudor Rocks.
Travel another hour and a half along the Great Northern Highway to Paynes Find and look out for wreath flowers (Leschenaultia macrantha) - circular wreath-like shrubs with thousands of red to pink and yellow to white flowers. So exquisite is this plant, that it looks like a man-made arrangement placed carefully on the ground.
Paynes Find provides an authentic taste of Western Australia's outback and gold mining history. Visit the old tavern, which boasts a cellar hand-hewn from solid rock and once used as a cool store. Many locals believe it was also once used as a mortuary, and love to tell ghost stories.
Spend the night in the historic roadhouse, with its original pressed tin walls and ceilings, which date back to 1912.
