Permanent pools are vital for the survival of local wildlife during Western Australias long, dry summers. A boardwalk and viewing tower will take you right to the river-pool and close to nature without disturbing the environment.

The Park is open to the public all year round. Gas barbecues and entry are free courtesy of the Shire of York.

The church building is built in Victorian Romanesque style, whereas the rectory is built in Victorian Rustic Gothic style.
The church building is noted for its modern stained glass windows and altar panels, both the work of renowned Australian artist Robert Juniper, and the small pipe organ which is the only example left in Australia of an organ built by Albert Pease in England.
The Church is also home to a Walsingham Shrine.
The bells were specially cast for York, and are hung in the bell tower which was restored after the Meckering earthquake.

We are situated on 5 acres of land, nestled under Mount Bakewell, with four acres of olives planted in 1998-99. There is also one acre of gardens surrounding our 100 year old + cottage, which is part of the Shire of York's heritage inventory.

We bought our lovely property in 2002, which included a badly neglected olive grove. The first 6 years saw us rebuilding the grove into the standard you will see today when you visit.
Improvements to our home and the establishment of a large garden have also kept us busy; the latter will soon be open for viewing by the public

Paragliders and hang gliders are an attraction to our area. If you visit us later in the afternoons on fine sunny days, you maybe lucky enough to see these brave enthusiasts flying over Mount Bakewell.

You are very welcome to wander through our grove and sample our wares.

Taste test our delicious products on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays between 10am and 5pm, or by appointment weekdays. We are only 2.5km (4 mins drive) from York Information Services and have plenty of signage on the main roads to guide you.

We look forward to meeting you soon!

According to the National Trust The original swing bridge, built in 1889, at this location was completely rebuilt to a modified design in 1988 due to safety concerns.

While the new bridge remains an interesting element in the York precinct landscape it is not an accurate reconstruction and does not meet the Criteria for the Register of the National Estate in its own right.

The Swing Bridge is included in the Register as part of the `York Historic Town` listing

Wambyn Organic Olive Farm began in 1994. Over the years we have planted about 1350 olive trees(about 10 different varieties) which are used to make cold-pressed, organic, extra-virgin olive oil and table olives(green and black). About 8 years ago we imported a genuine, hydraulic mat press to process our own oil. At the same time we had our whole property certified as organic by NASAA(no.6153).

We use only organic methods to fertilize and care for the trees. All irrigation is gravity fed. Our house electrical system is powered completely by the sun.

In the past we have done all our olive harvesting ourselves with the help of our friends. But over the last 2 years our crop has been so large that we are starting to introduce mechanical harvesting machinery.

We sell our product through various businesses in York and various organic and fresh food outlets around Perth. We also attend the City Farm Organic Market and the grower’s market in Montreal St. Fremantle.

Ruined Piano Sanctuary

In conjunction with our farming enterprise we are also the world’s first ruined piano sanctuary. Ruined pianos have been collected from around the state and placed in strategic positions around our 160acre farm. As the pianos degrade back into the environment their sounds and appearance become ever more fascinating. Ross Bolleter(pianist and composer) regularly plays these pianos and has recorded several CDs of ruined piano music. We organize ruined piano concerts every so often. The next one is on September 20, 2008.

People are welcome to visit by appointment only. We will give you a map to guide you around the old pianos. If you wish you can have a cup of tea or coffee and listen to some of the ruined piano music.(cost is $5/adult).

AVON WALK TRAIL

Welcome to the Avon Walk Trail. The Avon River is one of our great natural assets with a beauty which varies with the season. The raging torrent in the flood time of midwinter contrasts with the quiet serenity of dried up pools in its bed at the height of summer.

During 1986 a proposal was presented to the York Shire Council that public access to the river should be provided between the Town Centre (Avon Park) and Mile Pool (a magnificent permanent pool one old fashioned mile from to the north from town)

Following council approval community support was enlisted and a start was made to the project. Several busy bees supported by rural Youth, Rotary and various individuals saw the creation of a walk trail enabling anybody (with little energy required) to take a stroll with a difference in York.

There is no need to walk the whole 1.5km although you are certainly encouraged to do so as the best lies towards Mile Pool.

Indicators on the path show you where can escape back to Avon Terrace as outlined on the accompanying map.

In 2002 The York Landcare District Council orchestrated a Green Corps Team with Wheatbelt Aboriginal Corporation support & Lottery West Funds. They were employed to upgrade the Trail. Future plans include increasing Shire and community support to tackle the greater long term tasks of rehabilitating the reserve area adjacent to the trail. Some York primary school students in conjunction with CSIRO are tackling the infestation of the escaped garden plant Bridal Creeper. If you are interested in assisting with the walk trail in any way contact the CEO of the York Shire on 9641 2233.

On your walk please help us by taking care of the scarce native flora still around and please keep an eye out for snakes. Above all enjoy the tranquility of the river reserve, identify the numerous bird species which abound, (bird brochure available from YVC) and do something positive for your personal fitness.

We trust you enjoy your walk as much as those who created it.
