Pinnacles Desert and New Norcia Luxury coach tour

We begin our day travelling through the Swan Valley to New Norcia.  As Australia’s only monastic town, it is renowned for its Benedictine Abbey and art collection.  The Abbey Church is home to a large "Moser Organ", crafted in Germany and imported to New Norcia in the 1920’s.  A little piece of Spain comes alive in this town, full of history, art and architecture.  Discover the town's fascinating history at the museum when New Norcia was an Aboriginal mission.

You will learn of the intriguing history and culture of the community before stopping for morning tea.  We visit a produce shop for the chance to purchase Benedictine Community goods including olive oil, fruit, wine, nut cake and breads.   From here we visit the Western Wildflower Farm for a brief talk about how wildflowers are dried and exported. Wildflower varieties include the orange flowering Christmas Tree, Kangaroo Paw, Banksia, Wattle and Everlastings. Wildflowers are seasonal (September to November) and therefore we cannot guarantee sightings in nature.

Following lunch, we visit lobster fishing town of Cervantes and the Pinnacles Desert.  Here you can enjoy an easy paced walk through  mystical limestone pillars rising eerily out of the sand and reaching up to several metres tall.   See the Pinnacles from the lookout and take a guided walk through these amazing spiers. If time permits be sure to make a visit to the Pinnacle Desert Discovery Centre to discover even more about these natural wonders.
