Perth airport to Perth
Perth Airport (PER) has separate domestic and international terminals, and the airport train links them to the city centre in about 20 minutes. A taxi or rideshare from the airport to the CBD runs roughly A$50–80 depending on terminal and traffic, with airport surcharges.
If you are heading straight to York, a rental car picked up at the airport saves a second trip into the city. If you are taking the coach, you need to get to the Perth coach terminal first — check which terminal your service uses, as some regional services leave from different stops.
Perth to York
By road, York is about 100 km east of Perth along the Great Eastern Highway, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes. The drive is sealed the whole way.
Transwa runs regional coach services from Perth into the Wheatbelt, and York is served on some routes. Services are limited — often one or two a day — so check the timetable against your flight before you commit. The coach drops you in town, but York's sights are spread out, so you will still want a car or a local lift for the day.
- Book the coach only if your flight lands with at least 2 hours to spare.
- Rental cars are cheaper booked ahead; Perth airport desks can sell out in peak season.
- Fuel up in Perth or Northam; options thin out east of York.
What it costs
The cheapest way to reach York is the coach, but it only works if the timetable suits. For most visitors the rental car is the better value because it covers the whole Wheatbelt, including Toodyay and the Avon Valley, and you need wheels once you are there.
