We just visited the Ganalili Centre, in the renovated old Victoria Hotel Building. The art work and displays were fantastic, and Samantha's knowledge was amazing, and we weren't a lot about Aboriginal culture. We would highly recommend a stop here!

Kununurra Museum, does not look like much from the outside, but inside there is a treasure trove of historical artefacts relating to the Kimberley, including a wealth of information and personal information of the early explorers/settlers such diary’s, notes etc. Geological specimens from the area are also abundant and very interesting. The museum is run by Andrew Barker, President of Kununurra Historical Society, who relies on donations to keep the museum and the regions history alive and receives little to no funding. Unlike most museums, Andrew encourages the items to be touched - examined & probed,in order to gain the full appreciation & understanding of the object. Andrew’s enthusiasm, passion and wealth of knowledge, and his eagerness to share this information is simply amazing. We loved it, and if you visit Kununurra, this museum is a must to visit.

A group of 50 seniors visited new Norcia today on a day trip organized by Hello World, Alexander Heights. I have wanted to visit for 45 years and it has taken Covid restrictions for me to visit our own back yard. It is the only Monastic town in Australia and its history is extremely interesting. The old historical buildings have a beautiful architectural style and there are three beautiful churches with beautiful paintings in them. One almost like a mini Sistine Chapel. Being less that two hours from Perth it is an interesting drive through farming country, and you see the DISK as you drive up. Actually I would even recommend it for a weekend stay in the excellent hotel that they have there. Our meal was excellent on a beautiful laid tables, and tea served in the most colorful cup and pots. Reasonably priced I would recommend that as many people from Western Australia consider visiting, and even spending a weekend there. Stop at the Bindoon bakery on your drive there. I certainly will be doing it. David Schokman.
