Pilgrims Trailhead launch
This report is from Lynne Ward from the City of Subiaco who was kind enough to pen it for me as I have been overseas for some weeks.
"The
launch of the Pilgrims Trail trailhead, the starting point of the new
heritage walking trail between Subiaco and New Norcia, was officially
launched by the Mayor of Subiaco, Heather Henderson
on Sunday 8 December 2013. The trail now stretches some 170 kilometres
from Subiaco to the monastery town of New Norcia in the north-eastern
wheat belt.
The
marked trail has been initiated and developed by the Pilgrims Trail
Foundation and takes its inspiration from the extraordinary life of
Benedictine monk Dom Rosendo Salvado, the founder
of the New Norcia Benedictine monastery, who walked between Subiaco and
New Norcia on many occasions during his 54 years at New Norcia.
