HAWES HERITAGE TRAIL - PRIEST AND ARCHITECT

Monsignor John Hawes was a priest and architect who designed and built many inspirational churches and other buildings in Western Australia's Mid-West between 1915 and 1939.  He was a kind, passionate, and determined man who struggled daily to balance his architectural work with his religious duties.

The Hawes Heritage Trail takes you on a journey to the buildings he created where you will discover the fascinating story of his life and work throughout the midwest.

The Trail takes you through diverse landscapes ranging from  stunning beaches to the edges of the outback and colourful spring wildflowers.   Step back in time and imagine this countryside as it would have been in John Hawes' day.

We hope you enjoy exploring the beautiful Mid-West and the wonderful stories it has to offer.
