York Travel Guide

 Kathrin_E Says:  Situated in the main street, the museum shows vintage cars, buses, motorbikes... The old red bus that is parking in front at the moment sometimes does tours of the town. It must be fun to ride. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to investigate this further. 

 Kathrin_E Says:  Go for a walk along the main street, explore some side streets, and enjoy the Victorian facades. The town hall is the most magnificent among many pretty buildings. York shows, okay a polished and dressed-up version of, what Australian towns looked like in the mid to late...

 keeweechic Says:  At the foot of Mt Brown is the York Cemetery. It is found on one of the historical walking trails around York. The earliest pioneers here date from the 1860’s and their graves are just inside the entrance. Most of the graves here belong to males. There are several... 

 keeweechic Says:  When the Town Hall was built it had one of the largest halls in WA. Renovation has been carried out on the hall, which includes the pressed tin ceilings and the jarrah timber floors not to mention the wonderful red curtain, to restore the hall to its former splendour. The... 

 keeweechic Says:  The old Town Hall was completed in 1911. It was built on the site of the old Mechanics Institute which was founded in 1861 and demolished to make way for the new town hall. The Edwardian styled Town Hall has become a significant part of York's landscape in the downtown area. 

 hbsyn Says:  If you like a paranomic view of Avon Valley and the historic York Town nested within, you must head up to Mount Brown Lookout. It was wonderful when I went up there on a sunny spring day. You can see patches of colour bursting out and rolling green fields against the clear... 

 keeweechic Says:  Jah-Roc has won endless awards over the years and this all began with two surfing buddies who wanted to create something very different. They cleverly combine timber, stone and iron to create functional art. Also featured in both galleries is fine art and craft created by... 

 keeweechic Says:  John Forrest National Park covers 1577 hectares in the Darling Ranges. The trees in the park are mainly Jarrah, Marri and Wandoo along with some Banksia and Sheoak which is typical of the area. The area was first preserved in 1898 and was declared an A class reserve in 1900.... 

 keeweechic Says:  Mundaring pronounced "Mundahring" in Aboriginal means "A high place on a high place". Especially apt as the town is set up in the Darling Range. Mundaring today offers a range of bush trails within its forests. There are cycle tracks, bird watching, picnic areas and a wide... 

 keeweechic Says:  Just of the Great Southern Hwy and about 20kms before entering York you will come across Mount Observation on your right. A small dirt road winds it way up around the mount amongst the gum trees and flora. There is an elevated picnic spot which overlooks a eucalypt forest....

 keeweechic Says:  If you really want to get into the history of York then you should do the York Heritage Trail. If you have the time, it is very easy to just get around the town by foot and do the four walks which the town is divided into. There is the administrative and commercial...
