York

York occupies a bend of the Avon River in Western Australia’s Avon Valley. Founded in 1831, it is recognised as the state’s first inland town, established as the Swan River Colony expanded eastward from Perth. Its historic core is defined by 19th- and early-20th-century civic and commercial buildings along Avon Terrace, with stone and brick façades reflecting York’s long role as a service centre for surrounding farming districts. The Avon flows northwest towards Northam, linking the town to the wider river country of the Wheatbelt. Spring also brings seasonal wildflowers to parts of the surrounding region.
