From Perth, follow the Great Eastern and Great Southern Highways for an hour and a half to reach the grand heritage town of York. Established in 1831, as WA's first inland settlement, much of its Victorian and Federation architecture has been lovingly restored to house galleries, museums, cafes, restaurants and antique shops. Spend the morning soaking up the town’s yesteryear charm, or visiting the York Motor Museum, and drop into York Visitor Centre, located in the historic town hall, to pick up a local wildflower brochure for directions to the local nature reserves. Enjoy an afternoon hopping between the region’s nature reserves. Choose to head west to St Ronan's Reserve and Mokine Reserve (approximately 20 kilometres from York on the Great Southern Highway) or follow the old Goldfields Road north-east for 30 kilometres to Wallaby Hills Reserve. Both options offer an impressive variety of spring wildflowers, including pygmy sundew, yellow Hibbertia, rosy cheeked donkey orchids, climbing fringed lily, mouse ears and Dampiera. Stay overnight at one of many charming bed and breakfasts available in York.
