Come explore beautiful early 20thC 'pandemic proof' therapeutic building in the Adelaide Hills.

Nunyara Conference Centre

<p>Learn about how the architecture facilitated the 'cure' in the years before antibiotics, and how South Australia led the fight against the 'White Death', or consumption, the main global killer disease of the 19th century, and now sadly back.  This educative and entertaining tour will take in the main building and grounds and we will explore what daily life here for patients was like under the care of Medical Superintendent Dr Arthur Gault.  The site provides beautiful views over the city, and stands as a precious symbol of the State's pioneering and innovative spirit.</p>
