These timeless volumes offer an unprecedented account of New Norcia’s fascinating history since its inception as a mission in the mid-19th C.
You’ll also learn about the settlement of the early colony of Western Australia, which happened simultaneous to New Norcia’s establishment.
Meet the colourful characters that make up the story of New Norcia, its shift from a mission to a place of education and art, to its role as an icon of Western Australia today.
