If your need is for peace, tranquillity, good wholesome food and refreshment, visit the Benedictines at New Norcia. Its a place where you can meet fellow travellers from all over the world, or even from your own suburb! Conversation around the dinner table is always enjoyable, from there you can choose to be completely autonomous and enjoy your solitude...or to develop friendships as you will.
The landscape itself is beautiful, especially with winter's coat of green! Theres the art gallery, museum, tour, and of course the historic hotel which is in itself worthy of a look. Highly recommended if you seek refreshment of the soul.
