Yass is an attractive town beloved of weekend day-trippers from Canberra and travellers breaking the long drive between Sydney and Melbourne. There are many reasons why you might want to spend a little more time in this town of 6,000 people that was once a candidate to become the Australian capital.
A walk down Yass’s attractive main thoroughfare, Comur Street, will reveal much of the charm of this place. There are gorgeous old buildings converted to buzzing cafes and fine restaurants serving delicious local produce. Further afield, there’s stunning scenery to be enjoyed.
