The Pinnacles

We'll explore the local history, view the chapel, and see museum artefacts gifted by Popes and Spanish royalty. Next, we visit the Abbey Church, home to one of only two large Moser organs, crafted in Germany. We'll also visit St Gertrude’s College, a grand gothic building originally built as a girls' boarding school in 1908. Afterward, we'll stop at a produce shop selling olive oil, fruit, wine, New Norcia nut cake, and breads, followed by a delicious lunch. Our journey continues with an easy walk through the mystical Pinnacles Desert, where we can enjoy a view from the lookout.
