history
York is the oldest inland town in Western Australia, situated 97 km east of Perth in the Avon Valley near Northam, and is the seat of the Shire of York. Home to an estimated 3,289 people in 2005, it was settled in 1831, only two years after Perth was settled in 1829.
History
With the increasing population of the then Swan River Settlement in 1829, it became evident that suitable land would have to be discovered for the growing of cereal crops needed to provide necessary food.
Robert Dale, 21 year old Officer of the 63rd Regiment, was assigned the honour of making the first exploratory journey over the Darling Range during the winter months of 1830 into what was later to become known as the Avon Valley.
As a result of these explorations, Governor Stirling decided that the new district would be thrown open for selection and this was done by Government Notice on 11 November 1830.
Named after the city of York in England, the first settlers in the district reached the valley on 15 September 1831, and immediately set about the construction of huts, the preparation required for their stock and the cultivation of new land.
The first decade of settlement in the Avon Valley showed steady progress and a clear indication that the whole district should develop into a rich and prosperous farming area.
A township did not begin to appear until 1836 when an army barracks and store were built. It then began to take shape and great improvements were noted as private and Government buildings were erected.[1]
By this time the Aboriginal population was beginning to realise the full impact of European colonisation, and to offer understandable resistance. Soldiers were sent from Perth to protect settlers and by 1836 the nucleus of the township was in place, consisting of an army barracks and store with outbuildings, five houses and about 50 acres of cleared land. The first inland town of the Swan River Colony was born, and the story of its subsequent development is traced in the York Heritage Trail’s four walks.
By the late 1880s the town was teeming with miners and fossickers, all alighting from the train and preparing to make the long journey across the plains to the goldfields. It was during the period 1886 to 1900 that most of the town's impressive buildings were constructed.

PERTH HERITAGE AVIATION MUSEUM wa WESTERN AUSTRALIA
The Aviation Heritage Museum opens the door to a unique and glorious aspect of Australia. It displays the fascinating history of Australian Aviation and its association with the various many glorious wars.
The Museum, one of the most famous of the Perth museums is located on the Bull Creek Drive, had been set up in the 1950's. It is a property of the Western Australian Division of the RAAF Association and is maintained by them as well. The Aviation Heritage Museum, Australia began with the exhibition of the historical 'spitfire', and after a few years it was followed by the 'Lancaster bomber', which was associated with the Second World War. In this way gradually the collection grew and now it displays a wide array of vintage aircrafts, mostly related to the First and the Second World War.
In the Aviation Heritage Museum artifacts are displayed over an area of three thousand square meters, divided into two wings; the North Wing and the South Wing. At present the two wings display a collection of 32 airplanes and 34 engines along with other items like costumes, uniforms, instruments, aerial radio equipment, models, trophies, photographs and some other historical objects.
In the Aviation Heritage Museum, Perth displays are based on various themes like Sir Norman Brearley, Space exploration, Air Force Medal Collection and on various World War Two activities like RAAF operations in Lancasters in the European Theatre, RAAF involvement in Pacific War and few others. All this together make a rather interesting composition and makes the Aviation Heritage Museum a must visit Place of Interest in Perth.
The Aviation Heritage Museum, one of the most visited of the museums in Perth also has a gift shop from where you can purchase souvenirs like badges, T-shirts, caps, postcards, small model aircrafts and other mementos. The eatery at the Aviation Heritage Museum in Perth is a great place to relax and sip into some coffee.
