Travelling through the Swan Valley, we 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 artefacts 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 artefacts dating back to when New Norcia was an Aboriginal mission.
Next we move on to the Abbey Church; home to one of only two large Moser organs, originally crafted in Germany. This is 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. We then visit a produce shop selling olive oil, fruit, wine, New Norcia nut cake and breads, before enjoying a delicious lunch.
We continue on for an easy paced walk through the mystical Pinnacles Desert and see the Pinnacles from the lookout over the park. 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.

a month agoWent on a wonderful 13.5 hour day trip from Perth to the Margaret River area seeing the Busselton jetty, the Mammoth Caves, a delicious burger lunch plus a wine tasting at the Cheeky Monkey vineyard as well as the Leeuwin Lighthouse and meeting of oceans finished by a wander around the Margaret River town. Along the way we saw kangaroos, beautiful Caves Road as well as farms and farm animals. Our guide Gordon was brilliant. Not just a safe driver in our big luxury coach but he “made” the trip with his vast knowledge and way of conveying heaps of information in an interesting and fun way. Learnt so much about so much! Toilet breaks were also well planned and welcome. It’s a shame we couldn’t walk on the jetty but totally understand there’s no time to do so. Also a shame the wine tasting was with poor quality rough wines (luckily very small splashes!) which may or may not be explained by this season not being a good one due to the hot dry weather. (Luckily we bought a glass of Merlot from a previous year with lunch which was smooth and full bodied so I have not dropped Cheeky Monkey wines off my radar). These things didn’t spoil the day. Thoroughly recommend this company and this tour.

in the last weekI joined the tour, really like it, it is amazing. I have a chance to visit during sunset and nighttime. Lots of fly, do take note. Also, do not walk too far, and it will easily get lost.

6 months agoThe Pinnacles & star gazing tour would be one of my highlights. This amazing natural formation that looks like something out of a prehistoric movie set. Our driver & tour guide, Chris has given me a whole new appreciation of the amazing world above, so knowledgeable & informative. Just be prepared for the onslaught of flies, depending on the time of the year. Highly recommend 👌

5 months agoSuper Tour. Brand new and comfortable bus with USB ports, toilet, and leather seats. The guide is incredibly knowledgeable sharing insights about local history, geology, fungi, flora, fauna, physics, and astronomy. 🪐 Super impressive the sheer amount of facts and breadth of knowledge.

a month agoWe had a great time exploring and sandboarding at Lancelin. Robby is very accommodating, helpful and friendly. Skilled and gave us a good tour through the sand dunes. He took us to a remote part of the dunes to experience sandboarding. Booking is easy. Definitely recommended.
