A
magnificent field of brilliant red Flanders poppies
amongst the gum trees is a rare sight in the
Australian bush, but it is one of the special spring
attractions of Das Helwig Haus. To see this
attraction arrange a stay between mid-October and
mid November.
The Granite Belt, where Das Helwig
Haus is situated, has a unique association with
Flanders. The region boasts seven battlefield place
names -Amiens, Messines, Bapaume, Passchendaele,
Bullecourt, Pozieres and Fleurbaix that date from a
post World War One settlement. In recognition of
this heritage,
Fay and Eberhard
Helwig,
hosts of Das Helwig Haus, plant a
Remembrance Field of Flanders poppies in front of
their home every year to commemorate those who have
made the supreme sacrifice.
Guests who book a group stay of 4-6
couples may arrange for a special birthday party
dinner or a full Christmas dinner to be served in
the dining room on Saturday nights.
