When we got up we packed up our wet chairs and caravan, because it had been raining. After leaving Perth, we started driving to Jurien Bay. We stopped at New Norcia, which was established in 1846 by some Spanish Benedictine Monks. It was a Catholic mission that tried to help the local aboriginals. The town is Australia’s only monastery town. There were lots of big, old buildings, which were inspired by Spanish styles, and were very grand. It was a reasonably long drive to Jurien Bay afterwards.

Hi All, I read your Blog every few days and it’s a great insight into your travels with some terrific shots (even of Gerards runners).
I went to New Norcia, around 30 ago, when a girlfriend and I were over in WA. I thought it was a remarkable place.
Safe travels
