Beautiful Chittering Valley scenic drive

We had a wonderful and most enjoyable day yesterday with Chris our guide to New Norcia Everything was seamless. Felt safe with his driving (can’t always be said of others), his knowledge helped to make our overall day a most memorable experience from beginning to end. New Norcia is an absolutely fascinating, historical destination and the quality of the walking tour of the township was excellent. Morning tea and lunch were also very well done
We would both recommend this day to our friends.
