  • Hi Peter and Betty, It's been a while my friends. What a beautiful place New Norcia is. The buildings are magnificent aren't they, with all that beautiful ironwork and wonderful architecture. Did you get to stay at the hotel or was this a day trip? Loved the bushland settings made it all the more interesting. One day we will go on a trip "somewhere" I hope, LOL. Love and Hugs Chris and Jay

  • Very interestng indeed! I didn't know about the City. I think it has been named after the city of Norcia in Umbria, Italy (famous also for its exquisite black truffles!). Greetings, Roberto

  • Hello Peter,what a wonderful album you've assembled here for our enjoyment,the quality of youer photos is outstanding all the way through,I know that photography is all about light and doubtless the light was excellent but composition is down to you and you nailed so many perfect shots in this collection. A wonderful tour and your accompanying notes made most interesting and informative reading,thanks so much for sharing your visit to New Norcia with us,best wishes to you and Betty,Regards,Rod.

  • Peter, I'm so happy I took the time to wander through this lovely album. As I wrote, you had a beautiful day for your adventure and you got some wonderful shots! ... Blessings, my friend, Judy

  • Peter, what a quiet and peaceful place this is! I assume it is tucked away somewhere, and rarely boasts of visitors. You have chosen a perfect day for the outing. The buldings are impressive, the ambience so serene, and your photography leaves nothing to be desired! I love that elevation of the hotel too; it is very colonial in its architecture. Thank you for this album. Best wishes to Betty and you... Suresh

  • Hi Peter, just stopped by to see what's up in W.A. This is an amazing collection of images of New Norcia. I don't know if I have mentioned to you before, but I have never been to W.A. and you keep on surprising me with these 'Jewels' you have in the West. Hopefully one day!... but until then I will have to see it through your eyes...thanks Peter!......Helen.
