132 km from Perth, on the Great Northern Highway towards Port Hedland. New Norcia is an astonishing Spanish mission established in 1846, comprising 65 buildings, 27 of which are listed. Benedictine monks still live and work in the monastery. An ideal place for a spiritual retreat or to contemplate fine examples of Spanish architecture. Spend 1 hour in the museum and gallery of religious art. The collection is as impressive as it is varied. You'll also discover the atypical history of monks and aboriginal communities from the early 19th century. You can stay overnight at the monastery guest house.
