- Wander through the parkland gardens. Sit under tree or lie back in the grass and contemplate the open sky
- Walk a little further through the paddocks to the lakeside elms and read a good book or lunch or both or – don’t forget the picnic!
- Afterwards, back to the Homestead for a fireside glass of wine in winter or a cool sunset cocktail on the verandahs or the Grand East Terrace in summer

FURTHER AFIELD
YASS VALLEY
Yass lies along the Yass River, which is a tributary of the Murrumbidgee River. Yass Valley was literally born ‘off the sheep’s back; sharing a border with our Nation’s Capital.
The extremely diverse landscape ranges from the dramatic and beautiful hills, valleys and waterways of the Wee Jasper area to the mighty Murrumbidgee River, the huge expanse of Burrinjuck Dam, the rolling hills of Binalong and the vast plains of Yass and Murrumbateman.
