Welcome to the Australian Heritage Touring and Accommodation web site Australia has a rich architectural history, much of it built in the nineteenth century. Superb churches, town halls, post offices, schools and other civic works can be found in regional towns throughout the length and breadth of the country. Many of these architectural gems can be found in out of the way places, and their history is interwoven with fascinating stories of the early pioneering families. The Australian Heritage Touring and Accommodation Guide provides a comprehensive and insightful guide both to the remarkable architectural legacy which has been bequeathed to us. In addition, it lists accommodation in these townships which are themselves historically significant allowing travellers to stay in B&Bs or Hotels which reflect the historical ambience of the towns. |

HERITAGE ACCOMMODATIONThe Chalet Fontanelle (1898)
One of the Blue Mountains' most significant heritage properties, The Chalet Fontanelle stands on the Blue Mountains escarpment where in 1836 Charles Darwin chronicled his vision of the majestic Wentworth Falls plunging 1,500 feet into the Jamison Valley. A view he wonderfully described as “a grand bay or gulf thickly covered with forest, and showing headland behind headland as on a bold sea-coast — quite novel, and extremely magnificent.” |
