York, in the Avon Valley of Western Australia, is situated 97 kilometres east of Perth, a pleasant 1.5 hour drive (yep, correct) It is one of the most charming and picturesque (no wouldn't describe it as that!) towns in Western Australia.
Founded in 1831 on the banks of the Avon River, it was the first inland European settlement in WA.
York has a long history and a unique past, with many of its old buildings still being utilised today (no, I'm afraid I wouldn't say that either). It has much to offer (mmmm, they are stretching that a little bit), from its naturally beautiful scenery to picturesque farmlands, and an abundance of activities and attractions. (now they really are shaving the truth)
York is also well known for annual events and festivals, ranging from music, to arts and crafts, to vintage motor vehicles, cultural sporting events and its historical gardens and roses.(Didn't spot them!)
York is a must to visit and warmly welcomes visitors to the town. (Yeah, would agree with that)

| Interesting eh? Definitely picturesque!!!!!!!!! |
The place itself is just like something from the wild west. One High Street, properties both sides of the road for about 6/700 yards, nothing behind them. Most places were up for sale, looked like the place was struggling to me.

| The local Vicar was from Telford would you believe? |
Very popular with motor bikers and eccentrics with Morgans (Our Kid) and the like!!!!
