The Convict road remnants are historically significant for the associations with convict period of York’s development and the critical link between Perth and York where the first inland town in Western Australia was developing.
Remnants of the road construction some evidence in formation, across the brook crossing and small random areas of the rounded ‘cobble’ stones.
The Perth to York Road was constructed by the convicts to upgrade the track between Perth and the first inland farm in WA in York. There are very few remnants remaining of the original road construction.
