- Jeff SPerth, Australia1,238 contributionsA very serious eye opener if you’re interested in the history of the area. I certainly came away a lot wiser than I went in.
It looks like just another building from the outside but it’s massive with courthouse, jail cells, artwork, stables, living quarters etc etc. So much more than we expected and well worth the entry fee.Written 29 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CathyFremantle, Australia1 contributionPerfectly safe bridge and a fun way to cross the river. Good view point to take pictures and to lead across to cemetery and walk up to Mount Brown.Written 5 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Just standing outside the front gave me the creeps.Written 15 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Miles PPerth, Western Australia, Australia31 contributionsWe attended a superb jazz set in the garden, and enjoyed coffee and snacks here a couple of times. The gallery was turned over to high quality Aboriginal artists.Written 29 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia7,271 contributionsWe noted on the Monday that weekday services were held at 9.00am. Arriving at 9.40am on 25/08/20 we found that the church was closed and had to be satisfied with admiring the exterior of the church and nearby historical buildings. The original church, now the Church Hall, dates to 1859. The original Presbytery was built in 1874, destroyed in 1894 with the replacement constructed that same year. The Convent School dates to 1873 and the Church to 1887.
A former Irish Fenian, Joseph Nunan, builder and architect, designed the building. Work on the tower was not completed until 1909. The architecture is described as Victorian Academic Gothic, the most impressive features being gothic arches, the bell-tower, rose window and the ornamentation evident on the exterior. Such a shame that I did not get to see the interior that features timber work, organ and stained glass windows.Written 2 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a much larger store than it appears from the street.
The service is friendly & helpful.Written 3 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They were established a number of years ago as evidenced by the size of many of the plants. The focus is on native plants ranging from trees to shrubs to groundcovers. A number were in flower when we visited. The garden is tended and there were some recent replanting to replace plants that had died. It's quite a large garden but with a number of meandering paths to follow. Worth a visit if you're into native WA flora. There was a surprising number and range of very healthy plants in evidence.Written 10 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia7,271 contributionsWe were unsure of the opening hours but noted a couple of vehicles in the yard area and entered. We had to be satisfied with exterior views of the old stable block but luckily managed a quick look at the interior of the old Tipperary Schoolhouse. Interesting that the school was dismantled on its original site, relocated and reassembled by members of the York Society and local volunteers. The interior layout and desks are typical of small Irish schools up to the 1950's. Worth a look but is apparently only open Thur/Fri 12:00 noon to 4:00pm.Written 3 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- gfsc5Perth, Australia1,472 contributionsThis is another nice old York building. It houses a craft centre with some nice bits and pieces but the best view of the place is from across the other side of the street. You will see some Masonic symbols inside, though.Written 10 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DebzWAPerth, Australia61 contributionsJust as you come into York you’ll see this iconic York building, The Old York Mill was built in 1892 and was an active flour mill until 1967. It’s an impressive building that is now home to a collection of local businesses.
We visited the Emporium, which has a large collection of homewares, gifts, secondhand furniture, artworks and collectibles spread over the ground floor of the main building. Whilst the couple of staff members there at the time of our visit weren’t super friendly or welcoming, we enjoyed browsing through the displays.
We also visited the secondhand book shop in the building next door. It had a huge stock of reasonably priced books in good condition. Best part is that the books are donated and the proceeds go to charity. Unfortunately, we couldn’t buy as many as we wanted as they can only accept cash, which we didn’t have much of.
Finally we visited Honey & Fig around the corner from the bookshop. This time we were greeted cheerfully by the friendly woman working there (it makes so much difference!). Honey and Fig has a selection of crafts and giftware.Written 9 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
