Monsignor J.C. Hawes Heritage Trail
Monsignor Hawes lived for the bulk of his time in Western Australia at Mullewa and it was during this time when he designed and built his many works. The Monsignor Hawes Heritage Trail celebrates the enormous contribution architect-priest John Hawes made to the region. It highlights 15 buildings of his design and other sites significant to his life. In harmony with the landscape, his building style is easily recognisable and provides a rewarding and inspiring travel experience.
