New Norcia and Pinnicles

We have been to New Norcia before but never had the tour, so this time we did.

Spent the night in the caravan park? ( parking lot behind the roadhouse ) but the next days tour made up for that.

The Benedictine Monks have reduced from 80 to 10 but still have a role to play in the community, it has changed from helping the children of the Aboriginal Community to educating all children. Great Day out.

The Pinnicles has a new Discovery Centre, explains a lot more about the area and it's wildlife. Interesting thing is that they seem to be saying that the origins of the Pinnicles is still not clear.
Are they weathered limestone rocks or petrified trees?
