Nestled on the banks of the Avon River in the gently
rolling farmlands of the beautiful Avon Valley, the district offers
unique insights into Western Australia's rich and colorful past, both
before and following European settlement in 1831. York was the first
inland settlement in Western Australia, and the town has maintained a
vibrant spirit among its many Victorian and Federation buildings. An
abundance of local activities and facilities make it an attractive
destination and a fantastic place to live. For more

concerns.
