What to expect
Your guide collects you and heads northwest towards the agricultural heartland. You'll stop to sample fresh regional produce, then continue to New Norcia for a walking exploration of the monastery grounds, including the abbey church, museum, and art gallery. Mid-tour, you'll visit a local winery for tasting and the complimentary beer happy hour. The pace is leisurely but involves moderate walking on heritage streets and uneven ground. Bring sturdy shoes—there's climbing involved at Rock of Remembrance. The van keeps you cool between stops, and water is provided.
