New Norcia
We travelled inland from Fremantle to a place called New Norcia, this town still operates as a monastery and is Australia's only monastic town (there are currently 10 monks). The town was established in 1846 as a mission by Spanish monks and is named after the Italian town of Norcia. There are many old buildings with most of them Spanish inspired. We took a 2hr tour of the town than went up to the hotel to try the locally made Abbey Ale.
