anne and i took a day trip up north of perth to new norcia, australia's only monastic town. apart from the fact that it wasn't as impressive(which i expected, really) in terms of architecture, the pictures in the museum, of aborigines dressed in western clothing, assumedly 'working hand in hand' with the missionaries were eyebrow-raising to say the least. hohum.
at least we saw one monk. all decked out in his black robes.
