New Norcia - Hotel Driving into town (from the south) this is one of the first buildings to be seen. The very imposing New Norcia hotel established way back in the very early 1900's by the monks. It is still owned by the monks today. January 2009 |

New Norcia - Monastery A quick peak inside the Monastery. This is where the monks live. It's nice and green on a hot summer's day - very different than the land outside the building which is scorched. January 2009 |

New Norcia - Old Convent Anyone travelling through New Norcia will pass this building. You can see the Great Northern Highway passing the door. This is the Old Convent which was subsequently used as a girl's orphanage. I think that some of this building is now used for the museum and art gallery, the entrance to which is at the rear.
