Monsignor Hawes Chapel of St Hyacinth
Located at the end of Henty Street, it is one of the town's landmarks. The chapel was built in 1919 by Monsignor Hawes for the Dominican Sisters who lived in a wooden convent school, located near the chapel, that overlooked the town.
There is a poingnant beauty in this little chapel that was built so far out in the outback for the few people who prayed there.
Visitors who visit during the hotter months are reminded of the harshness and loneliness of the lives of the Dominican Sisiters.
The chapel was restored with grants from the Western Australian Tourism Commission and the Shire of Yalgoo and re-opened in 1981.
