About Yass Area
This historic area is recognised for its fine produce and cool-climate wines which you can explore along the Poacher's Trail, a self-guided driving tour of cafés, wineries, galleries and B&Bs in the Yass Valley. Yass is a charming and vibrant town with landscaped streets and restored heritage buildings.
For an aerial thrill, head to the Australian Paragliding Centre at Murrumbateman and get your adrenalin rushing by hang-gliding in near-perfect conditions. Follow walking trails in Yass and Gundaroo to see the many fine heritage buildings that give a taste of life in 19th century rural Australia.
