5.0 based on 1 reviews
The End End Gallery, within the historic Forbes Building on Vincent Street, has the primary focus on supporting and promoting Wheatbelt artists. Open since December 2014, the Gallery and Giftshop now encompass 150 square metres and display space. We pride ourselves on being innovative in our presentation and offering our guests an educative and entertaining visit. Attached to the Gallery is Michael's workshop which features his impressive collection of found metal objects and is also his creative space. Using artifacts from the early ming, pastoral and agricultural industries, Michael weaves the stories of the men, women and children who lived and worked in these settings. As our artists have grown in number, we have also become keepers of their stories. As we approach one hundred artists within our Artists Precinct, we look forward to welcoming new guests and old friends. Warm regards, Kate and Michael.

Husband and I stayed one night in the Guesthouse during our recent wildflower escapade. We did the 2 hour town tour with Gary, our guide. He is very passionate about preservation of the place and knows the history very well presenting it in an informal manner. He even gave us a piano recital. The town oozes serenity and hopefully it will get restored to its former glory. It is the only Monastic town in Western Australia and deserves to be looked after Our accommodation in the Guesthouse was basic, clean and in very pleasant surroundings. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. We attended the nightly vespers and had dinner in the dining room which was soup for entree and rissoles and salad for mains. The bread was baked at the New Norcia Bakery known for beautiful bread and it didn’t disappoint. There was plenty of food so nobody went hungry. It was nice just to walk around the grounds and feel the peace. The church bells weren’t working when we were there and we hope they will be repaired soon as it will add to the feel of the place to hear them

Ken’s vast local knowledge of the area and his ability to impart this knowledge with humour made this personal tour of the relocated school and teacher’s quarters a well worthwhile experience. The information about the sandalwood was very interesting and certainly opened my eyes to its uses both past and present. The sandalwood tree was about to flower, another week and I would have seen the flowers, a rare sight. I was lucky enough to be able to view the historic photos in the York Society rooms. Tour is by gold coin donation, well worth doing for any age group.

Only one hour drive from Perth, the York Mill is a must-see destination for anyone visiting York. As well as possessing a remarkable history, the York Mill provides a delightfully unique retail experience. Inside you’ll discover an exciting array of art, giftware, home wares and more. Enjoy a hearty meal amongst the artwork at the famous Flourmill Cafe, or relax outside under the 100 year old trees as you soak in the old country charm of the York Mill grounds. Standing tall at the town entrance with its iconic red bricks, The York Mill is an essential stop for the complete York experience, whether it’s on a day excursion or weekend getaway. The York Mill is located at 10 Henrietta Street in York, the oldest inland town in Western Australia, 97 kilometres east of Perth

The Old York Mill houses an emporium that stocks antiques, memorabilia, artworks, curios and giftware. Reasonable prices too. Staff are always up for a chat. Scored some Christmas gifts here. The toilets are awesomely made out. Next door is a good cafe.
