Chapel of St Hyacinth, at Yalgoo, designed for the Dominican Sisters by Monsignor Hawes who also assisted in its building. G1X1089
When I visited in the 1970s I was shown steps down to a ledge part way down the nearby well. The space was for the sisters to sit in the cool during the hottest weather. A heritage report speaks of the existence of a 'grotto' to the north of the chapel since caved in.
